Default high volume ram air tubes for 1098 WHO MAKES EM ?

I did a search and came up with nothing ? I know I have seen them on ebay, but the ones on there don't seem to match the front hole in the nose cone, any one have or know of a good high volume ram air tube ? thanks.

Thanks kerlyb, but thats not the ones I am looking for, those you need to buy the bodywork that goes with the tubes. The ones I saw , were just big assed tubes that mounted to the stock holes in the front of the bike ?

I looked at the OPP ones as well, but same story as the other ones,"intakes must go with the race upper" I'm looking for a high volume street air intake, thanks for the reply.

not sure it would make sense to make big tubes that match up to the little holes in the headlight fairing

Wow, there's all kinds of opportunities to buy parts that don't work on the net, but nobody has come up with this one yet?

The stock holes are small......I admit that. and the stock tubes are even smaller than the stock opening where they narrow down. I am looking for the tubes that fit the stock air inlet in the front of the bike, but don't narrow down near as much as the stock air tubes ? I know they are out there, just need some help finding them. Thanks for the replys guys.

I think that the OPP tubes will work with the small-inlet uppers, including the stock one. It is not necessary to have a perfect seal at the very front of the intake tract(intake hole), so I see no reason why these could not work.

Hopefully Mark Sutton will weigh in to add clarity.

Cut the holes out and flow more air thru them! I have very big carbon tubes and small opening on my 848 race glass so the dremel came out and the fairing now has bigger holes! Air flow shouldn't be an issue now.

The OEM headlight shape made for the reduced size openings, no headlight, no problem!
