just curious but... nitrous on a v-twin carbed bike...

how hard would it be? I think it'd be fun to surprise i4 liters with a small shot.

then you have to factor in the cost of refills too.

refills are cheap. main installation cost is the issue.

$600 at the least. FI kits are cheaper cause they can do dry shots while we can't

Yeah that is a bit high. What is it like a 30hp shot?

considering people pay 2-3k + for turbo setups, it doesnt seem all bad

not that im into it, but $600 doesnt sound that bad to me

being that you've of course spent gobs of money on susp. and chassis mods, i could see getting something like that in the far future

but $600 can buy you a new front end, or a shock/spring, or a system, etc.

but if you've done almost everything there is to do...why not?

If it were an IL4 with a stretched swingarm I could see it. But really, the VTR is such a good canyon carver and all around commuter that I think it would be a waste. Top end power is not the Superhawk's forté. Personally, I'd rather buy a more powerful bike than try to make the VTR more powerful...oh, wait... I DID. NOS comes on too quickly and is unmanageable in anything but a straight line. That's not why I still have this bike. ☺
