Is that similar to the Kev mod used on the xt660 range, sits in series with the airbox temp sensor and fools the ECU into reading air temp lower and riches up the fuel air mix ?

Exaactly that! Booster plug is the same thing but with no adjustability. Apparently these work really well, even on bikes running full piggy back controllers and some remaps as the help with the (dire) closed loop.

I think "controller" might be over selling it a bit. It's just a variable resistor right? :D

Pleased with that! Look forward to test riding it tomorrow! I didn’t come with the catalytic push in thing, so maybe too loud? Doesn’t sound too bad just blipping the throttle but it’s always different when riding them!

Do you have to adjust the advance and retard on the fly while in a certain rev range. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I went to a meet up of Hypers earlier. About 30 or so there.

Someone said, "Who's that on the sweet red 939"?

Someone replied, "Thats Taipan and he has a frame mounted SC Project AFM controller"!

The original guy said, "Wow, what a guy"!

I need to be able to adjust it and don't want to start removing panels each time. Once its set up, I'm pretty sure the cable is long enough to get it under the seat!

If the cable's long is there any way you could get it on the handlebars? Be able to see the dial too.
