This is the best explanation I have found as to why we/katana riders should use a airbox and/or any bike that falls under this:
Airbox
When running a full body and fairing combination on your drag bike it is essential that you install an air box. The air is streamlined around your fairing causing a dead air space in the area of your carburetors. This starves your carbs of air and performance is dramatically decreased as much as three tenths or more. Lining your airbox with a heat reflecting material will keep engine heat out so that you have clean cool air.
