Installation is what takes the most thought. You could slap it on in no time if you didn’t care, but since it’s your precious bike, we focus on the details you won’t see and make sure the work will be easy to access in the future.

• Okada Projects products are designed so that even if the unit fails, you can keep riding.
• Of course, they come with a one-year warranty.
• The unit is compact and lightweight, so you can install it beautifully and neatly.

I also gave the removed manifold a light polish.
