I've been pondering too - where do I get one from?
Neither Laser or Remus list them on their websites.

you can find details by searching "val singleton",and the o2 sensor is just a case of following the lead from the sensor in the exhaust,to up under the tank on right hand side close to telelever pivot point and disconnecting the plugs.theres a lot to write so best to search and sift thro posts.hope this helps

Well been for a run today of around 200 miles and I would say the performance with the y piece fitted was very improved seems to pull better in mid range, in my opinion well worth doing

Ah Doc, you have started on an interesting path, trod by many an unsuspecting Trixter before you.
It starts with a Y-piece, next comes the air filter, Induct, powercommander, short paralever arm and suspenders.
Some use 1150 barrels and flowed heads, light buckets and sprockets.
Is treatment available? Gus had it bad, but I think he is over in now!

Welcome to the treatment room :D
