So I ordered the following:

Turbosmart BOV for Ninja H2
Upgrade: Add a silicone blanking cap & clamp for OEM return.

I though I read on here somewhere it fits but can't find.

Cheers. That is the poor guy that got his H2 SX knocked over.

I'll try it but I don't like the long release from high RPM.

I'm using the Turbosmart BOV and I can confirm its a direct bolt-on.

I first had it plumbed straight to the throttlebody but the sound got annoying real quick. I'm even actually even considering putting back the OEM BOV

They tossed in the silicone cap/clamp free of charge but I did not end up using it because removing the hose was quite the procedure and I wasnt sure if I would keep the setup or revert to stock, I ended up plugging the opened end with a cap from a 1qt oil bottle which fit very well, I then put a bit of silicone and the clamp right over it.

Is there any sound after putting on the cap?

The cap doesn't change the sound.

Maybe cooler boost temperatures? But I did not do a before and after comparison.

I plumbed it like stock, so, other than hearing the sound escaping upon decel. there aren't any noticeable differences.
