air scoops? any benefit?

just wondering if thay make one jot of difference, in theory they would but has anyone done so for anything other than cosmetic reasons and was there any noticeable diff. If someone has b4 after dyno that would be grand but I may be cluthching the straws here..

the scoops are supposed to aid cooling air flow to the rear cylinder more than anything. I've got a set which I fitted a promptly took off again as I thin they spoiled the look of the bike.

hmm I know what you mean about the look...so getting more O2 into the box area is no real benefit then?

To ask a stupid question......while I was surveying the damage on my bike, I had a close look at the 'pods' mentioned above and was wondering.....what are they there for?

breather hoses that come from the carbs, some of us have removed them with no noticeable problems.
