They may lighten the load that the engine has to work against, but that is about it. If you are looking to add power, then I would go the other route. Rims may get lighter and may look better, but will not improve the HP. Good luck with your decision. _____________________________ Speed - No better friend, no worse enemy!

The stacks/filter don;t make the bike corner or brake any better, and the rims will help your acceleration ALL THROUGH the rev range, not just 10,000+ :) Besides, no one is going to looks at your bike and say "Nice looking air filter! Is that stock?" (in reply to xxfoolishfoolxx) Post #: 4
