http://hillbillymotors.com/html/portal.html F A S T...full sir supply technology. Very cool concept, check out the site, and look what goes inside the air-box   | ||

Now this look like the kind of present I might buy my baby. Hopefully Trojan will be re-selling this onto Dave at Iowa HD in due course. | ||

tranlated from German to Englisg Extensive test stand runs and flow Benchtests have for the development of the F.A.S.T. ?Full air Supply Technology? led. The XB's has two problems, the standard air box is formed, it refers its entire air very unfavorably by an opening in the left framework/tank range and it becomes very warmly direct by the direct proximity to the cylinder heads underneath the air box. Hillbilly engine the F.A.S.T of intake air systems sets exactly there. They put to the engine the amount of air at the disposal which it around its full achievement to unfold necessary. We measured with our XB9S increased output of 6-7PS. Among other things full 90 HP with unchanged series exhaust and standard controller. The F.A.S.T system can be developed individually and combined with different construction units. Basis is the F.A.S.T. Thermal mat instead of the air box is installed. It can be driven with the standard rubber funnel. Alternatively we offer a solution with a special K&N to filters or an aspirating pipe turned from full aluminum. As Tankcover in principle the production item can be used, since the columns are quite largely limited to the framework, we recommends however undere special Tankcover with generous air ports. We among other things lowered here the price for the Cover of our turbo XB drastically. All parts will be available in the course of the monthly Septembers. A Tankcover in carbon with openings is in preparation, likewise the TUEV acceptance for the Cover. An entry of the F.A.S.T. System in the way a production of an appraisal is appropriate for the single acceptance into the registration papers by us is intended in the discretion of the test engineer. All Tancover can be installed also with the standard air box | ||

i really wish i could read german to look at the rest of the site | ||

LOL...what's the $ Euro conversion like these days? | ||

It's amazing how air moving at such high speed could become heated so efficiently without passing through a heat exchanger. Sounds like marketing hype to me. | ||

I know what your saying, but most of the air does go into the XB airbox via the side scoop, that is open on the backside, near the engine. The air box openings being on the top, does sound like the logical solution. I also think a good Idea would be to modify the XBs stock side intake scoop, so every bit of air that enters the scoop goes into the airbox..Not some in the air box and some onto the engine. This months issue of "FUEL" (the buell monthly) has a great picture of "Koscos" racing Buell. It has a modified side scoop that extends out to the fork legs, grabbing big gulps of fresh air.. | ||

What is good for a racing bike/engine is rarely good for a street bike/engine. Leave the scoop alone. It is part of the cooling system of your engine. | ||
| Apex1 |
I was thinking if you had all the air going into the airbox from the top, you could use the scoop on the side for cooling only. That's not to say I'm gonna run out & be the first one to try it, just another possibility. | ||

That is ugly as sin. Must be horrible in the rain too. Agree with Blake, leave the scoop alone. Infact if it was me I would leave the whole intake tract alone. More bikes are screwed up as a result of ineptitude than anything else. Want more power?? Get a 12, problem solved. | ||
| Gonen60 |
Want more power?? Get a 12, problem solved. that is a silly statement..That is what so many of these topics are about. Making your bike just a little bit better. Isn't that why we add exhaust, ECMs, and engine work. Next time I want to add a little power, I will go buy a GSX-R1000 !!! Better yet, lets all leave our bikes Bone stock..! | ||
| Dynarider |
If a person with a 9 would resort to cutting holes in the outer airbox cover in an effort to increase power that is silly. | ||
| Gonen60 |
I guess just like a person who wants to buy a 12 and thinks about putting a D&D pipe on it.. Some people are seeing a several horsepower gain with air box mods.. |
