I'd just want the details of the nitrous kit to fit to mine .
Not that it's really usable in the real world .
But I bet it's so much fun in the right place .
It's not a bad price for a later low mileage bike either.
:cheers:

I really can't understand our laws here up north. Nitrous systems are totally illegal, But turbos are allowed :confused1:
Nitrous system could be nice extra power when needed.

Not the way to fit a nitrous kit.

Apart from the bottles being to small to be useful, they are badly mounted.
It's pretty common for folk to try and follow the bikes lines when mounting,
when in reality they should be the opposite.

Exit point should always be the lowest most rear point.
Bottles should always lean forward.

The liquid should always want to fall or be pushed towards the exit point
and never be allowed to flow or be drawn away from it or allowed to climb the
bottles wall on acceleration, wheelies etc.

I've always used 2 or 2lb bottles and mounted them more upright or leaning forward, even then they don't last long enough. When I see little bottles mounted like this I always wonder how well and how often they work. Sat on a dyno a little bottle leaning the wrong way will still give you the numbers but isn't a lot of use on the strip or street.

Bottle angles are one of the most basic bits of fitting but normally a good indication of if it's being done seriously.

Personally I prefer a wet system to a dry one as it is nowhere near as limited,
I'd always use multiple foggers into the inlets and never the airbox too.
