plenum spacer

[peteA]

apologies if this has been discussed before.

as one of my winter jobs I was thinking about an SC power plenum spacer...checked out their website it there are a number of options...including flared trumpets, etc....anyone fitted these?...any good?...comments please!

Had good comments about improving smoothness and throttle response from a friend with a Chim 400...would the same apply to a 500 engine? Are the trumpets the same in a 400/450/500?

Don't mind paying for the 'whole' kit if its worth it.

Thanks in advance.

Current World supersport champion

He's having a wildcard ride in MOTO 2. Pretty good showing for his first time

Ahh, yes could be good. But I hope Scott Redding gets his 1st win in the class.
NOTE FOR OP; sorry for hi-jack.
