By now It may have crossed your mind..."w.t.f. with the chopsticks crazy man"...
Ha! All will now be revealed.
The compact design of the frame means you dont get a lot of room to manouvre between the cylinder heads and the right hand side spar to pull the deutch plugs on the tops of the injectors.
As I'm not blessed with slim graceful piano players hands, and instead possess a pair of mitts like hams with five bananas attached, I needed some means of getting in there to apply enough pressure to squeeze down on the side clips that secure each plug, to get them off.
Geddit now? lol. OK, I could have used any other slim implements, but I couldn't resist the photo opportunity to show some heathen attacking this noble all american iron with a pair of ivory chop sticks...he he he..
The connotations of east-v-west engine design shown in this way just seemed funny after a couple of phatties as I chilled after the ride.
Actually, talking of vices, for all you smokers out there, it's best to get your nicotine or thc hit before attempting any work on any gasoline system when you are well out of range and dont light up again till you are done.
And next, if you favour a jig-saw for intricate cutting, do not use it to cut the apperture in the following step, paticularly while balancing the dummy tank on your knee. You may harm your marriage prospects irrepairably.

Enter: The Ghetto Style Air Scoop

A cheap, albeit a tad radical solution to get more ram-air into the filter with a front facing inlet to balance up the airflow with the input from the standard scoop on the left hand side.
Mark your line with a fine tip cd marker pen and then use some curved jaw tin-snips to cut out the unwanted piece. Trim with screen edging strip and Bingo! Lots of ram-air into a side of the filter that never even tasted it in the standard chamber set-up.
So there you have it. What to get, what you will need and even a couple of slightly rediculous safety warning all thrown in.
The next bit is down to you.
You need to now go test ride the bike to let the ecu add-on get to memorize all the changes in mapping by teaching it with a damn good thrashing. I really liked this bit of the job, it's where the powerizers micro-processor picks up all the info being sent by all the sensors via the bikes main ecu en route to the fuel injectors. There is a remote switch to the powerizer that lets you revert to the original engine map should you ever need to.
I did a hundred mile+ test ride that took in all real life situations that the bike encounters to give this amazing little module a head start on the learning curve.
Fuelling was spot-on and glitch free from tick-over in traffic and stop go on/off throttle use. Through cruising mode, 70/80 MPH and lightly feathering the throttle, the motor was smooth and settled down to a pleasant hum.
On the over-run, the occasional bang crackle and pop didn't seem so evident and sounded in some parts of the run like a early 60's race bike with open megga's when it was fully on the pipe..
High speed roll on and hard charging were next on the list, so with the tires and mill right up to temperature, I cleared all the urban sprawl and was now in my favourite territory of twisties where I have ejoyed so many rides on previous machinery, to use as a yard stick to evaluate
this bike fitted with these simple mods.
Remember, this is "seat-of-the-pants" dyno time so I can only report the feel good factor from that perspective alone.
And did this feel good too! The bike was right on song and behaved impeccably as I did my version of "Owning The Corners" by throwing everything I had at it through one of my all time favourite routes.
It sounded uber groovy with this fruity can and induction roar all
chiming in to shatter the quiet country air and make me whoop and laugh as I flicked and cut through the bends like a rapier on speed.
Where the Beemer is a two-hand broad sword the Buell is like an Epee blade. It's an excellent motorcycle for having some of the best fun you can get with your clothes on, and I think that Erik Buell is a genius who well deserves to be up there in the motorcycle halls of fame with all the other greats.
Now Mr Buell Sir, can you please make a re-vamped model that will look in perspective to my "not-exactly-King-Kong" human frame.
