I am almost certain this WILL not work
Maybe we could try it and see what the dyno would be on a rotax V twin with if fitted :smt005 :smt005

Gimmick aimed at the sort of fool that thinks a 2 wheeled hair dryer is fast abd can be made to faster by adding stickers
Or one those, a mini hair dryer for the carb !

"12 sold" Are people out there really that gullible?

Think I might start a line in go-faster bar end weights or something.. :smt100

TBH I think the biggest problem would be getting the fuelling sorted out.

Seven is better.. The extra weight in the middle lowers the centre of gravity making cornering faster.. :smt002

I'm going to get some slippery gel sticky-backed panels made up and claim they aid aerodynamics and can add 20mph onto your top speed, then sell them to these bell-ends for £50 a sheet :smt003

I might be up for some ridicule here but why not? Ok so maybe you are not going to get an extra Bar but a couple of psi might be achievable and is worth having.

Not sure about the £ per Hp ratio and there are no before and after dyno charts.
