As some of you may know I work for RMATV. One of our employees who I ride with occasionially came into my office this morning with an interesting "part". He said he had found it in a big box of parts he hadn't touched for years. I told him to make sure when he gets home tonight to install it IMMEDIATELY.

Yeah, thats one of the old ones, cause all the new models are a color, not the plain ol tan.
The tan was in the development days.

For the larger power band start with it around the center largest part of the pipe and move forward rearward during testing to find the sweet spot. For the smaller peaky power band start on head pipe about 3" from ex flange. I have never ran both at once, someone please try and report how it works.
Wes is prepared for a good weekend of testing.

Hmm 2 powerbands at once that's just crazy! I'm gonna have to do some major maintenance for this mod. Ill be sure to change my muffler bearings before I give it a go.

Sheeze so is that how it works? You mount the power band to your pipe in two places. One to signal where the beginning of the power band is and one to signal where the power band ends. So ingenious and incredible, Carlos should be making money left and right on this invention. I am wondering if a o-ring power band will be as effective.

Can ya'll see what Wes has done, all them power bands mean he has cornered the market. Aint no wonder nobody can find one, hes got them all.

I think I know somebody, did that same thing to OEM 250R parts from all over the USA, so must be the reason you cant find OEM 250R parts anymore.

Replace the standard pipe springs with said Foozun Power Bands and that'll turn your pipe into a Foozun pipe. Which in turn gives you +3HP and +3TQ across the entire RPM range, including at idle

I don't know if I should share this or just keep it for myself.  I picked up a second hand powerband from this kid who thought it was broke.  It didn't make a comple circle anymore, just a U.  I installed it with the broken side to the rear and guess what!!... the power was never ending. Literally pulled to the moon...  I don't have any dyno sheets, you just have to take my word for it.
