As my senses return from the Mass weekend ride, I realized that my bike runs very well, thank you. 6800 miles, plugs have never been out, small airbox mod, all long stacks, stock filter, stock gearing. Rider weighs 230 in an indecent condition.
Hapo's bike has 42 tooth rear sprocket, DYMAG carbon fiber rims, and lighter brakes. If eight pounds is one horsepower, he should have around eight horsepower on me if bikes were stock, not counting reduction in rotating weight. Hapo is NOT noticeably faster than me in a straight line.
gsx1300rguy's bike has Yosh cams and exhaust, installed properly (I heard three dyno runs mentioned) and will pull me and Hapo to around 150. It did cost, however, 100 TIMES what two long stacks and airbox cutting cost.
Thank you again for a very cost effective mod with the research behind it to show the difference. I do have some interest in doing the full airbox mod, but filtration is an issue. Hapo and I rode thru some dust storms on the way back Saturday that make me wonder if 90% of stock filtration is enough.
