Default Increased Airflow

Heres the skinny... aka plans for my bike:


1. Remove the Pair Valve Assembly on the left side of my bike using Mocc's Pair Valve Removal Kit.

2. Relocate the Airbox on the right side of the bike underneath the fuel tank using pac50t's airbox relocation kit (uses a UNI air filter and pretty much maximizes air flow).

3. Debaffle the stock pipes and eventually (hopefully is the probably the correct word) add a pair of Cobra 2.5" streetrod slashdowns.


Okay, heres my question... with all this increase in airflow, I'm very aware I'll have to get a FI processor of some kind to account for the fuel mixture so the bike won't run too lean and eventually royally screw up the valves. Is there any way to use a restrictor plate of some kind to decrease air flow to account for the lean fuel mixture or maybe relocate the sensor to trick the system? (I read about this theory in another thread but I couldn't relocate to read more into it) Or would these modifications not create that much difference and therefore wouldn't even need any modifications to the FI? suggestions?
