So.... $78 Can - that's about $14 US eh?

Seriously, if this hits $60 USD shipped I'm in. No tire kicking.
Over that I will need to think on it...

If so I'm in...

That I can spend and still get away with it around here...

Damn, I forgot about the fact there's 2. At this point we are over the price of a K&N and jetting controversy aside at least you get the value of a cleanable filter.
I guess I would like to see some dyno results. $130 gets Truck's fork brace. No question of that benefit...

@mikstr
yes its usd and yes of course im in.
I think it should be possible finding 30 interested VTR owners, which brings the price down to a total of 96 usd/set plus shipping (from my supplier). I dont care who makes them, i want a pair.

I just started a new thread to enable us to make it easier to keep tabs on who is really in (and who belongs to the "well, you know, if.... and ...." crowd)

I'm really impressed with how you guys made this happen. I think I'll wait though until someone tests them back to back with the stock velocity stacks on a dyno.

Well... I might need to order two pairs... or three... or possibly even more... It seems a few at the Swedish forum is interested... A few undecided though...

Do we have an official last order date? or an loose time plan atleast... that would light a fire under some of them...

No formal plan or timeline that I am aware of but my thought is that as soon as we attain a number that will allow us to get a decent price we go ahead. As for me, I am prepared to wait a bit but if people are too slow at coming on board, I won't wait forever and will just go it alone (I'll fork out the extra $$$ and be done with it). I must confess I am somewhat disappointed with the response so far....

I'm a bit late getting onto this thread, but I have a machinist that could give us a quote also for future batches if still interested in more.
