But I thought that the reason the busa was top end king was because of it's factory aerodynamics? The ZG DB adds frontal area up top, where the busa supposedly smokes the 12R. Looks like with everything else the same, the DB would increase frontal area and drag and actually hurt top end slightly.
At the same time, I agree that with the DB on my busa it feels like I released a parking brake at moderate to FAST speeds. I just don't see how it could add three up top... I'd like to see a wind tunnel test and some flat out runs to back this claim.

Well, that makes sense, but is 58cycle assuming that only fat asses ride busa's? I just thought it was a cheesy claim is all.
By the way, no reply from them yet. Wanna bet they don't reply?
Nah, bp is normal... pulse is at resting rate. Just thought it was a cheesy claim to put into the ad is all.
Then with a DB, nixxed reflectors and *some* decals removed I should be able to hit around 200 mph without counting the Hindle. If I got me one of them Village People bracelets like Rev bought I might could hit 204 without any other mods!
Now thats dedication....I gained 38hp by cutting off my right leg to reduce drag and reduced the overall weight by 26 pounds!
I keep wanting to drop my weight to right around 195 or so. Then the realization hits me that I haven't been 195 since my freshman year of highschool... and that was only for about two months on my way to 210... So, Since I do not really use my rear brake anyway...thats not an all bad idea...
Oh in all seriousness I think I prolly gained about 5-6 horses when I switched to Silkolene Full Synthetic Pro4 10W40.
Ask Cache about the 15 HP stage II Windscreen, he has it in his possession right now...

You guys think removing the side view mirrors gives you more mph up top?
I am serious, The Silkolene made a huge difference in the tranny feel as well, it was almost like a whole new tranny.
Mind you my power gain is only measured by my carefully tuned SOTP model 71' Dyno so I honestly cannot claim more REAL power. However, I can tell you that it certainly made a noticable difference in FEEL. It feels like it gained some oomph, so hell, thats good enough for me. I cannot speak to any other oils really, Silkolene was my first choice and I have since come to be quite the little Silkolene BeeeYoootch! If it helps any I don't own any stock in the company but I am a huge fan.
If you are shopping for a Full synthetic I can say that you want a Full Ester base, and don't try to save a few pennies here.
