   Does anyone else have this problem ?
   I have a OMP Strutbrace and it taps the corner of my airbox when in certain gears, or certain rpm... Its a standard mark 2 VTR airbox too.

   doubt theres much you can do other than get another airfilter or change strut brace to one that doesnt knock

   Instead of posting about it take a look to see if the airbox is located properly. As I have never heard of anyone else having this issue I would put bets on your airbox needing a wiggle and securing properly mate.

   well sounds a bit crap but i was going to just file down the corner of the box that its tapping on... see if that helps....... Not so that theres a hole, Just the outer part.
