This is a concept I have been contemplating for use on my CBR250R after I put a full nose on it to control the engine bay temp and to harvest the waste heat into the air box when it is cold out. And also some further adjustable flaps to direct the air flow either down to the road or onto the rider as a heater system for comfort.
