If you are going to do this mod only.... I do not recommend it. Put a slip-on, PCIII and air filter then you change how the bike performs. Now you can consider the flapper. I might be wrong though. I changed the muffler and added the PCIII before doing the flapper so I could not tell you what the difference is with just the flapper mod. _____________________________ 2004 Black CBR 1000RR Two Brothers Slip-On Titanium V.A.L.E. muffler BMC Street Air Filters Flapper Mod Powercommander III Sato rearsets Type 2 CRG black shorty levers 43 teeth Driven rear sprocket Speedo Heeler (in reply to Lastdance) Post #: 20

My 1000RR runs a tad rich with the flapper mod and slip on. _____________________________ It's better to burn out ... Than high side! (in reply to mmookey) Post #: 21
