in my opinion and experience unless your bike is running way rich or lean from mods i'd spend my money on something else, but if you do need one Owen at www.twowheeldrift.com gave me the best deal on mine, like $250 but that was kind of thrown in with my arata system, regular he probably does them for like $275
You are correct. As always it varies bike to bike, Del didn't see any gains on his 03 1k but it definitely made a difference on my zx12. Best bet is to search around for some hard data (dyno sheets, back to back comparisons).
