Anybody here seen this thing? I was talking to a traveller yesterday who was saying that these are the bizo for 2 stroke m/cycle engines. Got one on order. Should be here in a couple of days.

Tim,
  I saw this tested on a 4-strokes website.  They were quite impressed.  It basically increases the duration of the spark energy. Basically like a MSD6 for bikes. Let us know how it works. Cam.

Is it just a plug wire from coil to plug cap? How much are they?

It fits between plug lead and cap. Looks like ya just slice the lead in half, insert the thing 1 end then the other to join the lead back together, slap it back on and that Bobs uncle.

I'm going to pass on this one. Let me know how it works out.  My bike seems to have all the spark it needs. But who knows????

Fairly sure I have read about these over on dirtrider.net and the verdict was that they are as much use as snake oil.

Wouldn't touch em with a bargepole.
