From my experiance, your best going for a panel filter (e.g. K+N) in the existing airbox, as know quite few 200s suffered heatsoak problems with exposed induction kits. Some people have also drilled the original airbox with uprated panel, effectively enclosed induction, with good results.

I run an induction on my ST24 and it is fine, but the 200 is more finely tuned to get that magical extra power over the 24, and alot peeps had heatsoak problems.

As said heat would be the issue, could always fit some bonnet vents as well ?
