    "Power Now"??

    Has anyone used this in their bike??



    A friend of mine has put one in his KTM (125sx) . There's been a a fair amount of other mods done + dyno tune, so not too sure if its very beneficial!

    It is a moderately easily manufactured bolt on device designed to extract money from the purchaser. Can I sell you a larger volume power valve cover?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Alot has been posted about these on the thumpertalk web site both for and against. My opinion from what i've read (not based on my own trials you'll note) is that they are a waste of money. But others disagree - fair enough. If they were all that good surely mikuni or keihin would have incorporated them in carbs by now??

    Why not keihin or Mikuni

    I heard that the US government is keeping them from being used on all carbs to protect their grip us. Google 'chemtrails' for more proof
