xieds

Well i got 800 miles with my xieds. And i can say that I'm not worried anymore about melting bike down. Fuel mileage sucked at first but has gotten better every fill up. The heat from engine well before felt like legs were on fire, not anymore. Never had any codes thrown. So i guess i can say im very happy with product and it didnt even hurt wallet.

Re: xieds

I put just over 1500 on with them I am taking them off they work to a point.
The heat reduction is so small it is not worth the fuel milage loss.
The little boost in throttle responce and the deeper sound is easy to get use too.
I found they do what nightnide claims they will do for the most part.
The heat reduction was never more than 20 degress and mostly a lot less it was also short lived if the bike sat still. The temp did come down a little quciker once moving with them.
I had the chance to test them on rides I make a lot same route same conditions.
I would make the ride then take then off then repeat the ride without.
I will be keeping them.withmiles I ride the fuel loss adds up quckly and the extra kick they give the bike is really not needed it runs pretty good as is.
I do beleave that fore some they are a good option as with most mods it's up to each ride to to decide if they are worth it.

Re: xieds

So far i have little over 500 with mine fuel mileage loss for me about 1.5 miles to the gallon seems average but maybe its the way im riding im still getting 42-44 miles to the gallon .. As for heat mine has dropped down about 35 degrees and heats up little slower at idle and cools off faster .. more power deeper tone and smoother idle..

For my taste they are staying ..

Re: xieds

Put a few miles on this morning after I put them on and then a little over 100 miles this afternoon when it was freakin hot. Bike runs smoother, seems to pull a little stronger, idles smoother, does have a nicer exhaust tone, and isn't cooking the inside of my right thigh at long traffic lights. Even sat in a jam till the cops cleared up a wreck (about 10 minutes) and left it at idle just to see. I see it as money well spent. Jagg 10 row oil cooler my next stop.

Re: xieds

The Xied's are the best money I have spent yet. Uses a little more fuel but the bike definately runs the way it should have from the factory. 90 + degrees yesterday and I put 300 + miles on the bike and it ran like a champ. Also, I am sitting at dealership yesterday and I listen to bikes as they are starting up and most bikes crank a few times before firing up. My bike with the Xied's, starts almost instantly which is yet another + with the Xied's!

There aer IED's, Xied's and Vied's
Please read wht Night riders claims are you will find they meet the claims nightride makes.
What they do not do it turn your bike into a racing machine.
They are a good option for some some riders
