<< < (6/7) > >>

martinfan30:
I ride in some times 20 degree range. Would that be an issue? Whats the threshold of temperature considered too cold for these?

Any idea on whats a good price?

kaw rider:
you can run these reeds in cold temp.

Kyle,

There are two different types of systems, a wet system and a dry system. The bike I had in Indiana had a dry system, its injected into the air boot between the filter and the carb. I think the wet system has more potential for higher HP gains. Cold Fusion (wet system) claims 100hp gain on a twin, seems a bit high but who knows.

martinfan30:
Do the spacers I find online do much for the bottom and mid range? Or just snake oil?

Martin,
  The space is a good mod for the KK500.  I used the boysen dual-stage with very good results.  I was too cheap to buy the VF3 and likely would have liked them too but the boysen was good. Cam.
