I forgot to mention that the fuel for use with our product is not some $12.74 a box (A cardboard box, mind you, as seen in the background. Must be a great product with packaging like that.) rip-off deal from the manufacturer – even with qty. discount. Our fuel is readily available at reasonable cost everywhere. And there are many brands to choose from, as well. But we recommend the vegetarian variety, not that a little animal additive will totally prohibit clean burning, but because of the absence of any oil, which could contribute to fall-out.  (One note of caution here: This product is not recommended for use by ex-con riders [especially the pretty-boy types] who have done time in state institutions. It is unlikely that they would be able to achieve the appropriate frequency range that is required to operate this product efficiently.) | ||

And BTY, Mr. Norris – you old codger – (I bet you drive to work in a souped-up wheelchair), I would have thought you would have been a little sharper, what with all those high-tech gizmos in your shop. You think we’re trying to sell paintbrushes to the Eskimos, out here? Look again, old man. Can you see the entire product? (No, no. Other side of your desk is where those coke-bottle glasses are.) While you’re looking for ‘em, I’ll tell you… all you can see is the flapper part. Why re-invent the wheel? It’s the handle end that’s our high-tech development. You didn’t think for a second that thing was going to stay in place with all that energy going past it, did you? Of course not! Well, I’m not going to give our secret away, ‘cause I know you’re just itching to add another stolen idea to your catch cans and Aussie stacks. But I’ll give you a little hint: look at #11 back there, and think reverse engineering. Capt. Pete – fish killer and innovator extraordinaire. | ||
| Norrisperformance |
Captpete I think your testing is bogus. All the fish I talked to say it will never work. Your testing environment, and apparel is totally wrong, that is , if your looking for real world results. Send me one for testing! Put up or shut up!!!!! PS: Lets see ya talk sh_t about my wheelchair when I get the nitrous on it, and the high speed digital GPS cornering system, with dual muffler bearings. | ||
| Captpete |
Well, Mr. Norris – and I’d call you by your first name, but you do deserve a modicum of respect for all your years – all you’re doing is digging yourself in deeper. You’re taking a fish’s word for it? That just shows a lack of experience in the field. Why do you think all those sport fishermen have such bad reputations for lying? They learned it from the fish. All fish are natural-born liars. Believe me, 35 years of kneeling on the back deck with a razor-sharp knife at their throats will get you the truth. That’s why commercial fishermen are different from sport fishermen, never lying and always being upstanding citizens, looking out for children, dogs, and old ladies, etc. Why, the only civil difficulties I’ve ever had were for helping an old man, a guy probably just like you, across the street. (Turns out, he didn’t want to go across the street. Hell of a scrap.) Put up or shut up? Oh, sure… right away. Want me to send it directly to your computer? Every Buell owner in the world would have one in his mailbox two weeks later. And how are you going to test one sitting in a wheelchair? If you ever did get it working, all you’d do is go straight up, never to be seen again. But I applaud your GPS cornering system. Be a hell of a lot safer than blasting around in that thing trying to see through those coke-bottle glasses. A while back, I got some very good advice from a man that I respect immensely, and you would be well served to consider it: “Do what you know how to do.” Leave the innovation and testing to me, and Mr. Pione, my pilot. (As soon as he is released by the proctologist. He made a bad landing.) Then, we could possibly consider a joint venture; save the biking community from that fast-pill scam. Capt. Pete | ||

Oh Pete - that cut pretty deep. Put up or shaddup. Let's see YOUR forecast performance charts! Don't gottem? HA!... I didn't think so! (did I say I take Paypal?) | ||
| Captpete |
Steve, Forecast software? That’s the same program that makes those phony dyno sheets, right? I already told y’all we’re out here hanging onto this rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. That’s why you’ve got to be innovative to survive out here. You can’t just plunk your money down and buy what you need . You’ve got to make it yourself, or order it from the mainland, and the shipping will eat you alive, not to mention taking forever to get here. But I’ve got some friends who are going to Bali in a few days, and you can buy any movie or piece of software that’s ever been made there for fifty cents. I’ll put my order in, as soon as I can find someone to loan me a buck. (Did I mention I’m getting a little tight on this boat project?) But if I end up joint-venturing with Mr. Norris – he’s got a whole shop full of fancy gizmos and computers – I’ll get him to handle that forecasting business. I’ve just got to get all figures for the end result together to send to him so he knows how it’s supposed to come out. But I might be interested in a couple of your fast pills to help me get this boat project completed. My butt’s really starting to drag a little bit. Or maybe your Speed Squeeze would be better for my purposes. I’ll just start out with a pancake every morning, and I’ll be fishing in no time. Capt. Pete | ||

Well Captain, I have bad news! After trying to incorporate your design, into my state of the art wheel chair. I’d had catastrophic results. In my well equipped resting facility, under the big oak tree out front of da house. I was blipping the after burners, which shook an innocent squirrel, “who was minding his on business” out of the tree. The squirrel fell into the exhaust. After being set ablaze, on fire, he ran into neighbors wine cellar. Which resulted in a massive explosion, equipped with with a beautiful mushroom cloud, that brought down a passing crop dusting plane “ who was minding his own business” which crashed in my resting facility, out front of da house. Because of the hazardous pesticides the plane was carrying the whole neighborhood has now been evacuated. So, just because your, “minding your on business “ doesn’t keep ya safe from the fall out. PS: any room at your house for a hairless squirrel and myself. | ||
| Captpete |
Mr. Norris, Sure... bring your hairless self on out. But bring your tools. You can start out by installing the new HV6 injectors in the GM down in the engine room, timing them, setting the valves, and then running the rack. Once we get that going again, we gotta fire it up and test the new boom winch  for hydraulic leaks and then spool up the wire. After that, we gotta spool up 5-miles of 4mm, 1200 lb. test monofilament mainline on the long line reel.  By then, all that coolant in the keel will be warming up a little bit and we'll have to shut her down for a few hours to cool off, but that's good, 'cause you'll be ready for that shade tree. Except we don't have any of those around here because of those 180+ mph typhoons that keep them knocked down. But we can always go back to the house to check on that squirrel and see if he’s done yet, and have a little lunch. Then we head back to the boatyard and drag out the welder and… what? You don’t think you can make it out here right now? Aw, heck. Seriously, I wish you and a dozen more of the really talented folks on this board would come out here for a week. This thing would be done, and done right, and I’d be fishing, instead of posting this silly crap on the BadWeb. | ||

Nuff Said!!!!! http://www.aussiebuellriders.info/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=281 Compared to WHAT?? He did what - put in a horn and it "feels" better. How does that compare to stock with the same intake mods (filter, airbox, de-snorkle and TFI system)? OR to "the other" intake horn? A "testimonial" says nothing other than what the author wants to say. We have MANY people on this board testifying they can feel same improvements after airbox mods and air filter switch. Nobody is selling airbox mod cutting templates or "de-snorkeling" kits or anything else. Run the bike on a dyno, same airbox configuration, same day and temperature with stock rubber stack, then run "the other" aluminum stack and run your stack. That'll tell much more of a story than "...i screamed out the drive way picked up 2nd;instant wheel spin with the cold dunslops.then once warm i hit it at 4500 rpm and it came up just over 45 degrees screaming down the road for about 10 to 15 meters into 2nd up again.its more controlable and goes for longer" | ||
| Ingemar |
Ya can't leave it alone, it really bothers you doesn't it? I understand though, it bothers me too. | ||
| Jerseyguy |
"Nuff Said!!!!!" I guess that's the final word. Funny though, I did that on my 9 - box stock with only 50 miles on it. | ||
| Aussie_buell_riderz |
The guy was running cut 12 airbox lid, K&N and stock intake, buell race kit, ecm, muffler and TFI Then he upgraded to devil tube and he was invited to comment (as all customers are cause i have nothing to hide), and as you can see he is happy (not that you can accept his opinion) You have seen his comments and still cant face the facts, dynos will be up on monday and wednesday (2 seperate dyno testing stations) with full stock vs devil tube vs cut airbox. then there will be more evidence and more feedback as guys get theres installed. Its getting tougher and tougher for you guys to put up an arguement. What will you do when all the evidence is there for the devil tube??? Jerseyguy, what are you talking about? you dont have a devil tube?? how can you comment? Slaughter, you said a testomonial only says what the author wants it to say?? Mate that is what a testomonial is all about, what do you expect the author to write something other than what he thinks??? what the hell? | ||

Aussie - 2 objestions: 1 - A direct violation of agreements we ALL agreed to when we signed onto Badweb. To this day, I still have a hard time understanding what is so confusing to some vendors in that regard. Unless I missed something, you have a stake in selling the intake horns. It's not like you're a customer who put one on your bike and are so impressed that you're sharing your enthusiasm. Smells to me like you have something to gain. and 2 - NO DATA to legitimize your claims. Post a link to your ad here on Badweb as a sponsor and I'll retract objection number 1. Post the data doing a legit dyno comparison and I'll retract objection 2 Personal testimonials are worthless unless you're selling snake oil. | ||
| Captpete |
Or saddles for an S1W  | ||
| Aussie_buell_riderz |
item 1 has nothing to do with weather or not the product works. item 2 has been covered in my last post. and 3 testomonials dont mean anything unless your selling snake oil is one of the most stupid comments i have ever heard. Although im sure you would be backing the testomonial if it was negative, but when it doesnt suit your motives then is disreguarded | ||
| Blake |
item 1: Right it has to do with integrity, an ideal with which you are apparently completely unfamiliar. Either accept BadWeB's Put Up or Shut Up" offer or shut the hell up about your product here. Last warning.  | ||
| Jerseyguy |
My clearly stated point is that one doesn't need a "Devil Tube" to do what your proponent states. A stock XB9 with no modifications can do it. Therefore his comments are completely and utterly meaningless. | ||
| Norrisperformance |
I'm sticking with Slaughter's Fast Pills. Nuff Said!!!!!! Captpete If you lived a little closer, uhm, a lot closer. I'd be glad to help and also ride on some of the cool roads you talk about. PS: Can a Buell be considered carry on luggage on a flight to Guam? | ||

PS: Can a Buell be considered carry on luggage on a flight to Guam? If it can fit into 2 bags - one for the overhead and the other under the seat. No sweat! | ||

It's pretty expensive shipping bikes around for those distances. I, along with two friends, went to NZ in '95 and bought new HD's, back when the dollar was a lot stronger there, and we spent three weeks touring their wonderful country. Colorado's got some nice roads, but the traffic and police make it difficult to go fast. Not the case in NZ. It cost me $900 to ship that bike back to FL. But back then you had to slip a couple of grand under the table to get a new HD if you wanted it right now, and we bought them for US list price. That made it easy to rationalize. There are lots of places I haven't ridden, before and after I became a Buell convert, but I can't imagine any of them being any better that NZ's South Island. I'd sure like to get back there with my S1W someday. Hell, I'd like to ride around the block on it someday. The latter will happen. While we were there, we kept crossing paths with the International Vincent Owner’s Club who were holding a big event. They had shipped their bikes from all over the world to attend. (Talk about a cool collection of machinery!) If you can get enough folks together to share a container, then the shipping costs can be quite a bit lower, but it takes a bunch to pull it off. | ||
| Aussie_buell_riderz |
Jerseyguy, thats right. see when you get your stock buell home it has all this bottom end and midrange and wheelies great. Then you fit the race kit and the bottom end and midrange goes all flat and the bike gets great top end, from about 5000rpm. The devil tube brings back the lost bottom end and midrange that the race kit hurts. so by him saying that he has the bottom end and midrange back is testament that the devil tube is doing its job. $140 Australian dollars is a cheap price for getting back the lost bottom end and midrange. and it really makes the bike alot more user friendly, since most city riding is in the 3000 to 5000 rpm range. The devil tube brings back the snappy response in that part of the rev range. www.aussiebuellriders.info/deviltube.htm . (Message edited by Aussie_buell_riderz on April 24, 2005) | ||

Actually, the low end is not lost with the addition of a race kit, in fact it is improved on a 9. The midrange is what suffers some. Let's see those dynos. Let's see those dynos. Let's see those dynos. Third times a charm.  | ||
| Aussie_buell_riderz |
just processing the runs now and picking the best of the different options. to compare. should have them up in a few hours got to go out now (sorry) | ||

Test info http://www.aussiebuellriders.info/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=285 Pod design roughly 5kw over standard intake Airbox design roughly 1kw over standard More dynos will be up in a few days from dynojet dynos (Message edited by Aussie_buell_riderz on April 25, 2005) | ||
