Ah, there is the difference- I was not 'prodding', merely discussing.
As to my opinion, it is not and never was that more power could [not]be gained with the flies in place but the opening curve changed, it is that more power can [not]be gained by leaving the flies in the bike compared with removing them, and this is still my opinion. But no matter as we are very far off- topic in this thread, I am content with my conclusions in this matter and no interest in going over that 'well plowed' ground again.
I could be wrong, but I think I missed your point, as in I don't think that was what you were saying way back then when that discussion took place. Do my
inserts fix it Brian???
So...although the rest of us could read you two going at it in civil forum text discussion until your keyboards wear out, perhaps it would be more productive if we glean what we can from you two by merging your points.
The ultimate C14 would have dual exhaust (Muzzy's or ZX14?) and ZX14 throttle bodies AND Steve's flash (this would be me
prodding Steve to develop one for someone {perhaps he shouldn't wait but just do it himself to his bike} that has such a set up just for the challenge of it, since there isn't {yet} enough market for it be profitable) so that it has the "drivability", smoothness, and low rpm torque (we can combine those 3 into the Shoodaben factor)of a bike with smaller throttle bodies and a more restrictive exhaust
AND the top end horsepower of a bike with less restrictive intake and exhaust. Of course (this is where I stay on topic..sort of) to be "ultimate" the ultimate C14 would need the (Incontrol Factor) Low Fuel Warning Eliminator, KIPASS bypass, and the yet to be developed (this would be me
prodding Brian to get it to market) "Exciting New Farkle" which I think I know what it is but I'll let Brian announce it (someday)
(Brian, please add a flashing LED as some of us are wearing ear plugs).
