It's true. MY gas mileage went down. But not because of the device. I simply wasn't afraid to open the throttle anymore.

so far, after a few tanks, still getting about 40 miles/gallon, i have to see what happens on a long trip, but it sure feels sooo much better! now passing power on 5th gear is surprisingly smooth and plenty of torque. |

So... stock air is restrictive to the point of ---- truly hindering natural performance?

reviving this topic, i finally got to enjoy my bike the way it was intended. after installing the cobra fuel mgmnt. i can't tell you how much better it is, and soooo simple to install, i have been running on it for about a month, and no problems whatsoever, and!!! still getting average 40 miles per gallon, this past sunday rode up to sequoia, and on the way back it got a little hot around bakersfield, maybe 103 degrees NO PINGING EVER!!!! an i actually took my bike up to 120 miles per hour, i still had throttle left, i feel pretty sure that it will make 130, sweet,sweet!!! and FYI i went 170 miles before refueling it took 4.3 gallons, that was close!!!

I've never heard of a Nomad hitting 130, even 130 indicated which would probably be around 120 MPH actual, without expensive mods.
