Do they make them for the stock variator? And should you stay with stock weights, or go 1 gram higher like I did when I got the Dr Pulley's? :-* Also do an MPG study for us. :-*

AWESOME!It sounds like they have the same "profile" as Dr. Pulley... Higher rpms at the same weight. Can't wait to hear more...

What's the latest on rollers?  I am looking for better mpg.  I seem to get @ 50mpg registering @75mph with some WOT.  I weigh about 200 w/gear.  Will heavier rollers do the trick?  I hear acceleration suffers when you do this.  Any info is apprectiated.

The reason I ask, I was reading the DT300 Forum and there are @100 posts for this subject.  Didn't read them all, but interesting stuff!

If you went 1gr heavier you would wind up running 150rpm+ - less at the same speeds. You could do the math to get the optimum rpm/cruise ratio. That and a Hi Energy Ignition coil/iridium plug, and good fuel. You will gain quite a few mpg. I'd guess +10% at least.
