I have seen pipes from a front nose cone to an air box of 4".
What is your current airbox/filter configeration?

I'd say anything above 2" as the standard intake is a tiny rectangle.

I have 1 meter of 3inch diameter and get no pressure drop. gsxr1100, but similar air consumption.

Searching is a pain.
Best if you can remember who was involved with the thread and a word in my experience.
Some folk use google, but tell it the site name (its an option in the advanced search), which seems to work well.
I vaguely remember being told to put % around words in the LCB search, if you don't and you have multiple words then it looks for it as a
phrase.
75mm will do the job nicely.
E-bay isn't too expensive for this kind of stuff, as it is proper Saxo / Max Power sort of stuff.

Where can you buy smooth ducting??
I have superflex which is decent quality stuff, but surely as an air intake it is better not to have all the ripples in??
I'm unhappy cos I eat and I eat cos I'm unhappy

Surely only 1 cylinder is sucking at a time, so the cross-sectional surface area of the plenum opening doesn't need to be any wider than one of
the throttle bodies?
