At $240.00, quite an investment. What if it don't work? They don't list the XS11, but the XJ11 should be the same. Hope someone tries this and has good luck with them. I will not make the investment unless I hear several positive opinions.put something smooooth betwen your legs, XS eleven

The XS is listed right below the XJ, and yeah, they are the same number.
Seems to me you could simply turn your mixture screws each a 1/4 turn one way or another and do the same thing? 'Course... I'm a bit of a cheapskate.. lol.
Do you think that price is for all four carbs? Looks like it would be simple enough to make if you really wanted one.

Junk
Pure junk.
There is a reason you dont see them. I have taken them off several bikes because they don't work well at all.Obsessed Motorcycle Mechanic / 29 year Owner of a 78 “E” model

I have them and they allow for fine tuning across the entire fuel range. they are adjustable so jetting changes can be made without removing the carbs. They can deliver up to 15% more fuel on demand while the engine is working. they are easy to install and easy to set up. You can install them and not worry about running lean if you have added pipes, bigger bore etc.
They come from the snow machine racing circle. they do however no recommend removing the air box when they are installed. The air must pass the supply tubes at 90 degrees. Basically the more air that passes the top of the tube the more additional fuel the engine will receive over and above the standard jetting. Some people suggest that when you install them you lean out your main jets and let the dial a jet system make up the difference. On my bike I will run stock jetting with 1179 kit, polished head, enlarged exhaust ports K&N pods and 4 into one exhaust. Without the air box in place i will have to fart around with them to get them right.
