I'm limited in mine to what I can do. Seeing mine is electronic fuel injected, anout the only things available is through Harpers, there's some "performance" mufflers.

It is the same casting with dozens of different jet combinations. |

I've tried them on two different vehicles, one with a carb and one that was fuel injected. Other than being a bit louder under full throttle, I didn't see any performance difference. Isn't it true that a stock air filter is designed to pass the maximum amount of air that the intake can handle? If so, of what benefit is a K&N? They may be capable of more air passing through them under test conditions but if the intake only demands what a stock filter can handle, what's the point? |

The pipes, jetting and K&N air filters made a hell of a difference in the way mine ran. Not really a motorcycle but the same sort of thing happened when I rebuilt the "Vega" motor in my 75 Monza. I got a distributor kit and another cam gear that changed the ignition curve and cam timing, along with a little more compression, a little overbore and a different carb made that a pretty fast Monza. I am sure it would not have passed an emission inspection tho ;-) |

Those babies aren't cheap! I wouldn't buy anything from Harpers. Actually, the Jackal has plenty of power anyway. I'll bet you could outrun Harry's Ducati on the straights and in the twisties! |

I am sure it would not have passed an emission inspection tho ;-) I can understand how those modifications can make a big difference in performance. Usually though, they are at the expense of something else. In this case, other than a slightly bigger displacement it was mostly at the cost of low RPM emissions. I didn't run it at low RPM that much anyway ;-) I was working midnights by then so sitting in traffic was not a factor. But the K&N claims have always bothered me. My truck has the 5.4L engine and came with single exhaust. About 4 years ago I was bored and I had a dual exhaust system put on it just for the hell of it. The guy who did the work assured me that I'd get better performance and fuel economy with the dual exhaust. Bull****. Didn't change a thing. I then replaced the stock air filter with a K&N. Didn't change a thing. Since then, I've replaced the dual exhaust with the original OEM single (was getting tired of the "rumble"). I also tossed the K&N for a stock, OEM replacement. Again, no noticeable difference in fuel economy or performance. Snake oil, methinks. There is a lot of snake oil being sold out there. In the boat business it seems to be their stock and trade. Yamalube? Really? |

They may be capable of more air passing through them under test conditions but if the intake only demands what a stock filter can handle, what's the point? I don't know if the K&Ns pass more air or not. With the three changes I made to my bike it accelerated much faster. I do know that I can dismount, clean, oil, and replace the K&Ns in about a half hour. The stock air filter would take at least an hour just to get to it...buried under the gas tank between frame members with tubes going everywhere. Here's what the stock filter looks like: https://www.harpermoto.com/images/pl...air-filter.jpg Here's a pic showing how it's mounted, but you have to look very closely. It's under the top center frame member, between the two side frame members, snuggled down between the two cylinders. http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/1...3686/GW448H336 Here's the K&N installation: http://www.spedizione.nl/wp-content/...-3-2015-41.jpg |
