What kind of power?

Taken it to the track yet?

What about on the street?

Just curious if any liter bikes or Kwak's have tried to play with you?

Believe it or not, for me the filter is one of the main reasons I'd only buy a Ghetto kit....especially with all the kits being so excellent nowdays, it only takes one small thing to sway you......tucked filter allows it to maintain the factory appearance on the left side....I really really like that feature, especially if you plan on railing with it!!
Q Cecil.....what was the deciding factory on the kit ya bought??

You can hide the fliter on most kits...Down side is the possibility of restricting the air...  

Yes but there are ways to blow more air into the filter.

Bike looks great and i bet it is FUN!!

In an attempt to regain the ability to turn left I am expirimenting with different filter options.
I recently installed a very small K&N (see pics above).

However, at 8lbs the bike is stuttering at the higher RPMs.
Not sure if it is related...

Could I be starving the turbo for air?
Is this filter too small?

Not to sound too down on the bike...

It's ok... it is deffinately not one of the power house Turbos...

The HP numbers are actually pretty low... about 40hp less at 6lbs then I expected (210 vs. 250 at 6lbs).

No I have not taken it to the track yet.
Still working the bugs out... I hope to get down there in the next few weeks.

Trying to work out a couple of boost related issues before I go to the track.

I have yet to do much more than tinker around with it so far.
I've done a couple of top-speed runs, but with the gearing (16/40) and no TRE they were nothing special.

As for litre bikes and Kawi's... I have had the pleasure if keeping them in check prior to the install... no recent challengers.


With that being said... it is fast and powerful.
But not like a lot of the bikes you will see around.

I thought the stage two is good for 350hp on pump fuel? and up to 460hp using race gas

Sweet bike.

think the filter takes away from the aerodynamics of the bike
