I have just increased the SV grin factor.
 
In preparation for my Dyno run on monday, I fitted my a pipercross race filter, took the snorkel out of the air box completely and re-fitted my tank raisers. I then took the bike out for a spin to make sure it would run OK to the dyno shop.

All I can say is WOW, it has transformed how the bike runs, it is so much smoother and the power feels miles better. The induction roar is awesome as well.

Can't wait to get the dyno done now and see if it improves the bike even more.

best way for more power to weight is to weigh less yourself so keep off the pies :)

Chewy's tank raisers.

No I don't have a power commander, I am getting the stock ECU remapped.

But, on the other hand... Placebo horsepower is better than 10bhp that doesn't make the bike feel better, on the road, since all you're really trying to do is make it feel faster. I'm going to keep on saying that till everyone believes me :)
