Which red-blooded Road Star owner doesn't want more performance out of his/her steed? And you know every pony counts when you're trying to beat those spritely 1100's once they have had their air system worked! Well here are few answers for the power mad...

| MMMMMM... S&S cover... So shiney... |
First off is the new custom cast aluminium manifold. Nemesis Racing has
made replacement manifolds to suit the stock Road Star carburettor as well
as separate manifolds for the popular 42mm & 45mm Mikuni carburettors.
These new manifolds provide far superior air flow from the carburettor into
the engine and as we all know, superior air flow means superior engine
performance. Nemesis Racing has manufactured separate manifolds for all of
the carbs as they didn't want to compromise air flow quality with a "one
size fits all" manifold. The custom manifolds come with all mounting
hardware required to get your Road Star breathing easier.

| Custom moulded... Smooth as a baby's bottom. |
Nemesis Racing has also gone and taken one of the most well known and
respected carburettor and air cleaner set-ups on the market and has adapted
it for the Yamaha Road Star. The S&S E Series and G Series kits come
complete with 47.6mm and 51.4mm Venturi carburettors respectively, plus the
world famous S&S Air Cleaner, plus Nemesis Racing's new custom manifold to
individually suit each kit.
It must be noted the S&S Air Cleaner included
in the kit is not a "look-a-like", it is the genuine article. The E Series
Kit is recommended for most Road Star whereas the G Series kit is only
recommended for Road Stars that have had serious engine work including
oversized pistons.

| The genuine S&S carby... Yeah Baby! |
