    Man with all of this talk about the V-Ductor I am getting real curious about it. Scared though, I don't want to lose my gas mileage. :(

    JB, if anything it will help in mileage. In your case it may help in power.

    I have heard a few people on this site say that they lost some mileage. Power, yeah it is a pretty inexpensive way to gain some. Just a guess, how much do you think that I could gain?

    Have never heard anyone say they lost mileage but instead just the opposite. Power for you, who knows your have to try it but anything will help especially when riding two up. :D

    Not going to lose gas mileage yer gonna gain some. It's very efficent and helps rather than hinder - also the little speed boost doesn't hurt it's rep either.:)

    Its was hard to tell on the power today as the bike is a 103 with 255 cams, pipes, SE air cleaner and and the new race tuner. It will get up and move if you twist the throttle.

    One quick question, do I still need a regular gasket to go between the carb and air cleaner? I notice that the V-Ductor has a gasket type flange on it for mounting. Thanks.
