hey. MrPlease.

i'm jacking your thread for a min. need to know about the termi DP kits. does it come with a K&N filter AND a modifiied airbox or just the filter?
i got a thread in tech about free flow filters that i need your input on.

man i didn't even look inside the box. i just took it to the dealer and had them install it. what i had left after installation was cans, stock ecu, and air filter. so i guess it did come with an ecu and air filter.

I got mine a few days ago. It's just the slip ons, ecu, and the air filter, no mod airbox.

ok, as for the ride. i only rode it about 30 miles yesterday after the install. as for the difference there wasn't much. the only thing i can say is the bike felt more stable. the "flickability" was still there. i will give a more detailed review when i get more time on the new rims...

Did you go with the larger profile front tire? aka the 1100 size?

Like the way the front tire looks (and the back one too!) Glad you didn't have the coil issue. I wonder why your bike was running rich though? Oh well the good news is you will be running open loop all the time with the DP ECU!
