I had the Buell race kit on my M2, got tired of the knee bruise, bought a used Force off ebay for around $80, and couldn't tell the difference from the Race Kit, performance-wise, but it totally cleared my knee. Then I bought the Carbon Fiber one, again a super-easy bolt-on affair, and can't tell the difference in engine performance, but it weighs about an ounce, and looks way cooler. So, no more hitting with the knee with the Force-type, this alone was enough of an improvement for me, a huge improvement. I would give up a couple horsepower on top to have the knee clearance. According the NHRS dyno test, don't really give up anything significant with the Force.

I was looking for my old dyno runs -- but I think they never made it to the new computer. I guess I could call NRHS and get the couple that I did there -- As I recall the best run was 93 hp with the Race Ecm Supertrapp and Force--not bad for a stock FI bike with a few bolt ons running about a mile high. As I said earlier I just think it looks better with the ham out of the can and showing --
