Cycle Tek air shifter and Raptor shift light

johnnycrash · 12-31-2006, 9:21 AM

Installed both of these this week and it was 58 degrees here yesterday so I got to try it out. The air shifter works great. The CO2 tank and regulator just barely fit in the trunk and that sound it makes when it shifts is just too cool - you can hear it over the motor at WOT.

The shift light has all self contained electronics. No sending units and or/RPM chips, and the whole thing was $85.

Full system with PCIII, lowered in rear, strapped in front, 1 tooth down in front, 30 shot of NOS, and an air shifter -- with stock wheelbase this thing is a hoot to ride.

There is no greater feeling that ripping down the Quarter Mile wide open.

I'd guess they're much better than a guy who doesn't even own a bike at all - but what do I know. I'm just some prick on a Gixxer.

I had to go 18 months without one after my accident so I know what you mean. First warm day of spring and you'll be going nuts.

Good luck.

Looks good!

The 2nd picture looks like your running a little hot though.

Thanks. It always does that when you first turn the key on - which I had to do to show the shift light lit.

yeah same, i think for me it will be something like that too, its just companies now want rediculous money for insurance. so ill have to wait, i hope it wont be 18 months though or more.

Sportbike Insurance: one of the very few areas of life where an old guy like me has an advantage over you young guys!

its donkey doo. what insurance do you have? i had state farm and they werent bad 870 for the year. i tried others like geico ($9k/yr) progressive (3.5k/yr) and some other one light house i think and it was (2.8k/yr), they said when i turn 21 it will go down alot, so hopefully it does and thats in 6 months

I pay about $1.5k per year through Allstate - but I get discounts for a car, a truck, and my homeowners ins. all through the same place. It was real cheap before - but I totalled a CBR1kRR in 05 and had over $250k in med bills - so I'll be paying high rates for a while.

As far as Geico or Progressive - they wanted like $4500 per year - wtf?

yeah, i was luck and medical wasnt too bad, all that really happened was a broken left scapula or whatever its called, shoulder blade i believe, state farm had my family and we had about 7 cars and another motorcycle insured (was 2) and now we might be getting dropped cause people who drive the work trucks like to get into accidents every 4 months. well prob like 4 in the past couple years i think? not sure, im thinking about opening up my own insurance company lol
