BP, mine runs fine with just a cone. Plenty of power, no problems, starts right up. Experimentation with imaginative designs is fun, but without dyno tests that you can trust, done by experienced technicians, you can't be sure if the experiment is an improvement unless its dramatic. This has been stated in many articles over the years. This is because of all the variables encountered in a amateur street test: varying road conditions, barometric differences from one day to the next, variations in engine temps from one test to the next, differences in the way the rider operates the bike from one test to the next, variations in accelerations, and most importantly, the prejudice of the rider who designed the improvement. Because of all these and more factors, you can't be sure that any slight improvement is the result of the new design without proper testing.
If I recall correctly, DJ took the bike to a dyno and it showed dramatic improvement in HP, which was contested by others who were suspect of the figures and person who ran the dyno. I could be wrong about this, but I remember something like that was in the thread.
