What weight is the screaming eagle? Is it any better than the generic air? All snake oil if you ask me.

The Screamin' Eagle® air will net an additional 4.3 horsepower.

Well, that's what my friend told me. His uncle has a buddy up north that is third cousins to a tech who's nephew is a service manager out west.

You have to remember you don't live up north anymore. So the numbers will be different.

Last week I stole some winter air from a dump truck drivers tires, at gun point, and it seems to have made my bike faster. I think the lower molecular resistance of the winter air allows the tire to stay warmer in the fall giving the tire better traction and durability. Although I havent checked the tires with a testireone meter I believe having a lack of testireone will also help keep the tires from going bald. One thing thats for sure is when the nut behind the bars is a loose just about anything can happen.

More importantly, where do you put the valve stem caps when airing up?

I've got the SE KapKeeper® lanyard on mine. Orange, of course.

I stocked up last year and the wife threw them out thinking they were just empty containers. Too expensive to keep replacing so I think I'm just going with after market air this year and see how it goes.
