Anyone know where to get that dual race intake setup (Formula Bikes) that supposedly shows a 10hp gain? |

10hp when used in conjunction with a complete race motor. |

My guess is that it will be available shortly after the '06 bikes are revealed . Maybe '07... |

What does it look like then? Or where can I find pictures of it? |

There was a picture in Cycle World.The system seems to use a dual Throttle-body with ram pipes of different lengths. I guess that the manifold might be available at some point which would be a good basis for a home-brewed system. The higher gas speeds from the smaller diameter should be better at low revs as well if the system were tuned for the street rather than the track. I always felt that one big T/B was not the best way to go on a large v-twin, but was fitted for cost-saving/simplicity |

It would be some feat to make the manifold on the cheap to fit between the 45 degree V. 1-into-2 doesn't do such a bad job. |

Maybe the unequal length ram-pipes are because the inlet runners are not equal below the t/b. |
