Please explain??? So you put the white gel coat claw on that Les showed us the photo of and that got rid of the induction noise? That's my take on your post if I'm right happy days.
That's it .. just removed my stock bearclaw and bolted Les's white one on and rode home. chirping induction noise was completely gone. Still got my K&N's .. it was the bearclaw causing the noise that was driving me mad.
So is your theory that the standard claw was rubbing on the filters making the noise or it is some weird airflow thing. Couldn't get a physics proffessor so I went straight to the top. I asked T.C.
