Not yet, but I've only ridden about 15 miles with it. I'm thinking the trick is that it's still using the stock airbox. The airbox has a good bit to do with performance. I was reading reviews the other day about Honda Shadows and how performance had dropped because the airbox hhad been significantly downsized as compared to prior years for asthetic reasons. I'm wondering if with the stock airbox and the fact that M50s run a little rich already when stock, that it will work fine without a fuel processor. I do know that I still smell a little gas which is a sign that it may still be a little rich even with the new air filter. Anyhow, I'll post further findings.

I also know that the inside of my right knee no longer bumps up against the intake like it did with the larger stock airbox cover.
