Can you just use a pre-filter over carbs for more air flow?..instead of KA or Kn filt

About to order new K&N filters and was just wondering if it wouldn't be better
to just zip tie some shaped and cut pre filter materal right over the carbs??

Wouldn't you have better air flow without the actual filters, but with the pre-filters over the carbs protect your engine from ingesting any foreign objects or snow.

Just a thought, heard guys running open carbs and I'd just be a little worried about that.

You could run a stock air box and get cold air from outside your hood instead of hot air from under your hood.

Only problem with that is that the 1150 is in a zx chassis, and the KK air box will not fit.

I do have a mesh hood on so that does help.

Im dead serious.

Will that small surface area of pre-filter restrict air flow though?
