Dunno, but they do get good reviews. A company selling devices guaranteed to increase your motorcycle's HP and mileage set up a demo booth at a major rally and one of the foremost cruising bike rags paid them several $100 to install a set in a bike they were testing. Sure enough, they got more apparent power and measured a 10% increase in mileage and gave the device a stunning review. Naturally, the company hyped that report to sell 1000s of their devices. Meanwhile, performance oriented rags said "BS!", if they worked why didn't mfgr.s like Honda use them to whup their rivals on the track? One rag did a before-after dyno test that proved the things actually cut power and mileage. Miffed, the first rag decided to dupe that test. Since the devices were already in their bike they did runs with them first. Then they tried to remove them and guess what - to their everlasting chagrin the crooks selling them had never installed them and they were left to explain why an *unchanged* bike had made more power and used less gas!! At least they were honest enough to admit they'd been duped - which is more than most will do. I've been leery of reviews ever since .... |
