I sold the kit to Benji at an awesome price.
If buying this kit new, you'd have about $800 in it.
I did all the hard work of the install, forwarded Benji detailed pics of how things are plumbed.
If you have some pretty good mechanical ability, you can install it yourself.
Plumbing the intake manifold to accept the nozzles is pretty tedious since you don't have much room.
If not, leave it alone.

I know ya said that ya bought it from a guy, but what would this run me to set up? And, how difficult was it to install?

And yes, Bad Piggy gave me a great deal on it... so I definately cant complain about my HP gain to dollars!

I agree, if someone asks you why, the answer is "why not!"

I went the cubic inch route and am happy with that as the power is always on tap but NOS is cool too.

I just came in from working outside, and was really into this post. \\; I say "Kick 'er Down Clown". \\; Stock is fine, but let's push the envelope and go for some fun. \\;
 \\;
I was so into reading this post, I tipped my 2nd beer for a swig, and to my sirprise, I hadn't popped the top yet.
 \\;
Thanks fro all the great info and ideas guys- \\; Ahhh the second beer tastes better than the first. \\; It is the 14th that seems to make me feel a bit ill...

I always thought that having NOS was a great idea for the person who wants more power when they need it. The cost is a fraction of what going to bigger cubes costs, and can be installed by the average guy who isnt afraid of electrical.

I picked up a used NOS kit from BadPiggy on this forum. It has the 2lb bottle installed in the left rear bag. The whole thing is installed "stealthy". Arming switch is mounted to the horn bracket, microswitch is the only thing you can see mounted to the side of the CV, fuel pump is behind the left side cover, the solenoids are in the area between the seat and the engine. I ran all wires and hoses under the tank and into the stock harness, the less you see the better! If you look real hard you can see the jets sticking out of the intake... but you have to look realllll hard...
I have just uploaded pics to my Flickr account here:

I have used only one bottle of squirreling around, but man, does it come on like a bat out of hell! Officially I have made only one pass on it so far at the track before technical issues (blown fuse)... it ran 12.60 @ 103, but the bike ran 12.79 @ 102.3 without it, so I need to make a few more passes.

"Old man's bike" always makes me laugh. Is there something about being in one's twenties that REQUIRES having an uncomfortable, tiring motorcycle or is it just to prove how tough one is? I turn 75 soon and ANY bike I ride is an old man's bike when I am on it. There are a fair number my age who can't swing a leg over a sled any more, just absolutely delighted I still can. Enjoy your souped up old man's bike for as long as it lasts. Any mechanical device is much like a flash light battery. You can put a big load on it use it up quickly or you can use it as intended and get a long service life out of it. Your bike, your money, your choice.
