2009 Intake trumpet question

Hello every body!
I sometimes ride in some very soft fine beach sand (Lancelin WA) and usually after a few hours in this any air cleaner will be totally covered with sand, removal of the sand-caked HB air cleaner would un-avoidably drop sand into the plenum.
I have fitted an aluminium plate to stop any foreign grit dropping straight into the intake, instead it drops onto the plate or into the bottom of the plenum where it is easily removed. The plate is made from 2mm ali and fits snugly into the plenum half way up. The riveted on bit holds the plate forward and also stops the back end from dropping.

The plate also seems to have quietened the induction noise a bit and there doesn't seem to be any adverse effects on performance with it installed. FE 570 no trumpet.

I'd be happy to supply more details if anyone else is interested.

I have gone to this trouble because I love my new bike.

Thanks Steve.

I wanna see a dyno comparison of this vs stock setup. I'd say that is one helluva restrictive setup! 8O
Even the stock system is not optimal for performance. No ram air effect, very undirect air feeding and somewhat hot intake charge temps because exhaust runs so close to the airbox and motor as well.

Not to mention the boiling fuel issue that will not help the bike to run better...
