One were to stick two of these on the throttle bodies? Reduction in torque?
Can't see any picture 
I can now.
Where would you fit the air probe sensor located in the lid of the airfilter holder.
Plus you wouldn't notice one jot of difference in the scheme of things. Unless your flares got sucked against the mesh and stalled the engine

My thought was to run two flexible hoses from the bodies to two of these filters situated under the tank (upper half of ABS space). The sensor I could stick through a hole in the hose.
I would then remove all the airbox plastics and battery harness and relocate the battery horizontally on top of the engine/gearbox.
With the battery moved I could pull the filters without having to remove the tank, the upper weight would be lowered and the gap under the tank-to-seat would be see-through, which imho would look awesome.
Maybe worth a try, only a tenner for the two filters

Heavy rain or riding through a puddle???
Might be good on a track if you could set it all up properly, but seems dodgy for everyday riding

That was the other reason for it, it would give another half/foot of ford riding.

Air boxes (plenums) have several duties. That also of quietening induction roar (can be very loud) & to supply relatively "still" (not turbulent) air to the engine.

4u2 is right it would be loud !! i have played on the dyno with my 1150gs and moding the tubes can help but the air box itsself is not a restriction ,if you put bigger inlets on it does make a bit more power but not much and you need to add fuel to gain anything ,and the filters in your pics are s&bs which are not great proper k+ns are dearer for a reason, unless you are going to do internal mods the induction is not to bad ,even running velosity stacks on the throttle bodies makes a bit more peak but torque suffers,
