Javier, Your not kidding they are a tad pricey, I'm seeing $164 for a single unit on Amazon. Question for you, my helmet is a snug fit, am I going to have trouble with the speaker wires? Mike

I have one for me and for my wife, so we can talk. They work really well. The speakers are loud enough to hear even at highway speeds, but they have to be placed right where your ears are. Since they are bluetooth I can pair it with my cellphone and ipod. Phone calls also work great, the sound quality is good enough that people can't tell that I am on my bike. They are not cheap, but at the time I bought them their price was competitive with respect to other brands. Javier.

On the lines of loud vs quiet, does anyone here use a Bluetooth to talk while riding? If so what model are you using? I sort of like the time on my bike by myself, but lets face it, sometimes we need to take that call. Then there's GPS and all kinds of reasons we might want to have it available. My Jabra works fair, but my helmet allows a little too much noise in making it difficult to hear. I'm wondering of those helmets with Bluetooth built-in are any better? Anyone here have one of those? -----Original Message----- From: surfswab <[email protected]> To: Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers! <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, Apr 22, 2012 8:02 am Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: Modification to increase power in mid range for 91-03 705's Make that link: http://www.nighthawk750.com I knew it was missing something.

It's usually done in conjunction with the Radio Shack fuel jet washer mod (so named for shimming fuel jets in each carb with two #4 washers from Radio Shack). Those who've done both, swear by the improved performance. The claim of more power is mostly anecdotal since, as far as I know, there are no dyno comparisons to back it up. But the chatter indicates it does seem to improve driveability throughout the throttle range (improved air-fuel ratio, no off-idle stumble, faster warmup, less choke required, a little more exhaust growl, etc.). So better perceived responsiveness, yes. More power, not neccessarily. But seems worthwhile and it's cheap and easy. Documentation here, if the site's still up.
