depends how you ride the bike.
if you ride low to mid rpm then yes it is very noticeable.
if you tend to cane the nackrs off it high rpm it will feel breathless.
honda fit one short one long to compromise.

mine works a lot better with 2 shorts with the cams im running.
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Hmm, so long stacks if you like low rpm and fast gear changes and long stacks if you like to rag at high revs. Is that right?
Anyone got any pics of long and short stacks?
What are other peoples preferences?

Or go for billet stacks and have the benefit throughout the rev range. :thumbup:

No, You've said long stacks twice.

But you're nearly there....

There's a lot of info about the subject in the Workshop Knowledgebase, also over on the Superhawk forum.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Have had 2 long stacks on mine for couple of years now, Benny s bang on there improvment at low to mid range, breathless at high revs.
Got to look at how you ride it most of the time, and it aint at high revs.
