Author Message   Capital_g Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 09:12 am:        I have searched the archives and can't find a definitive answer. Does a Forcewinder breather offer any performance gains on an X1 or do people do it strictly for looks? I don't want to lose any low to mid-range torque. Does anyone have proof other than the "denim dyno"?   Djkaplan Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 02:15 am:        Not an X1 that was dyno tested, but I doubt there would be much harm to one in a near stock application. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/384 2/11192.html?1113852451 Your X1 being injected, you won't have to worry about the carb vent issue. I use a Forcewinder strictly for knee clearance over the breadbox and race kit filter on my M2... not looks.   Capital_g Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 06:13 pm:        Thanks for your reply djkaplan, it was very helpful...   Pkforbes87 Posted on Friday, October 31, 2008 - 09:08 am:        I use a forcewinder only because the helmholtz box was hideous.. but according to my butt dyno the forcewinder comes with a small loss in power.
