Hi, A far simpler way is to use a 'twin-tone' 12v electric horn, cost about £35, probably the same in dollars over the pond, believe me they're loud enough to...
... You can get higher pressures if you block the exhaust off completely - but with a hole in one end ( Muffler ), it will only raise about 50 kPa. Cheers...

It strikes me that, excepting RRW, none of the magazines are unbiased. They just can't afford to slam manufacturer K's bike over and over in favor of H....
John, RRW can be biased as well, depending on the subject being discussed. Testing differing motorcycles on the same inertia dyno will not yield numbers that...

John, Why take a chance, when we know the inertia will not be the same, and the only way we could really know how similar it is, is by measuring it? On an...
With all that said, you have to admit that an $8000 inertia dyno is better than no dyno at all. Yeah, an EC997 is a far better instrument, no doubt, but it's...

Get a customs broker. You can also research this online at the us customs website (I don't have it handy). But, be forwarned, if you don't pay your "tribute"...
