Quickshot 2
If there was one thing that just bolted onto a carb and worked its magic on almost every finicky bike we tried it on, the Boyesen Quickshot was it. Sure, if the bike had no jetting issues, especially bogs or hiccups when whacking the throttle open, the Boyesen part didn't do much. But if you had these issues, this part is a cure. I've bolted so many of these on bikes over the past two years that I have a collection of stock pieces I have no idea what to do with. Essentially, the Quickshot 2 has more precisely machined holes for the fuel to fl ow into and eliminates cavitation in the pump squirt diaphragm cavity. It simply works and it takes away one of the lingering mysteries in getting your jetting dialed.Though the second version of the Quickshot has been improved with 25 percent more fuel capacity plus added bleed capability, we haven't seen any difference in the improvement from the first one; they're both good. They're also available for the latest Honda models with a different design than most FCR carbs. Our only complaint with the original was that you didn't get any bling factor from the part. Now the Quickshot 2 has a tab to identify its presence and that was a mistake. It not only makes getting the carb back into place harder, but it also touches on some of the exhaust systems we've tested, prompting us to cut it off on occasion. Sorry we complained! At $99 it seems pricey for such a small part, but getting this improvement, especially in the often frustrating jetting game, is well worth it. -Jimmy Lewis
