Thunderslide?
Is it worth it to install the Thunderslide? I've read some articles that did not
recommend the Thunderslide because of the very small difference compared to "normal" rejetting and
the quicker throttle response, which can cause some strange behaviour. The perception I got was that it is better
to rejet only....
My idea now is to install Santee slip-ons (Equal to SE but cheaper, according to the stealer), SE air cleaner
and change the main jet. Is it a good idea?
Maybe I would have to order a dynotest at the same time, probably a good idea, since I don't
have the black belt in rejetting..

RE: Thunderslide?
Your goal, regardless of the method, is getting the A/F ratio right. You can do that with the T-Slide, a standard DJ kit, and even with a single jet and a few shims. You can find statistics eveywhere that will bias toward one method or another. But the differences are much easier to see on paper than they are to feel in real life. The most significant differences are really cost and convenience.
Short answer: Any way will work as long as you get the A/F ratio set right.
I've done jets only, have a DJ kit in one bike, and the T-slide in another. They all work well. I do think there is a little quicker throttle response with the T-slide but admittedly, that could be perception only. Besides, even if it does, there isn't much use for it daily driving except for racing to the next stop light.
