CaddmannQ air mod

Okay, I tried in on the right side, without disabling the ICS and did not like it. Decided to try it this weekend for the ride to Mesquite and back on the left side. Actually made quite a difference. The bike used to have a flat spot in the throttle, a hesitation at highway speed near WOT that had me rotating the throttle back and forth to find the sweet spot to get the bike to go. No more. It just goes with no problem. I like it.

Bud's talking about performance in a part of the country that doesn't try to KILL YOU!

Just kidding, saying hello to fellow travellers!

I tried riding in 110 plus degree weather and decided I had a huge flat spot and I didn't like it either!!!!

When you tried the Caddman mod did you have pipes or a PC3 (or similar).

My bike is stock except for removing the final baffle from the mufflers.

I tried the K&N air filter with sprectre backing plate and have V&H pipes only. I love the results. better air intake(tons more), cooler running engine(fan hardly ever kicks on now), and a little more seat of the pants gitty-up-go. Total cost; $60.
