Best bang per buck if you ask me.
Hell they cost me less than £20
This would just about set a Bang-for-Bucks world record.

GS riders fit the RS airbox tubes and rave about the performance improvement.

Now 1100S riders have joined in the merry-go-round.
Everyone will fit GS tubes to their 1100S.
A year down the line i'll fit a pair of standard 1100S tubes back onto a customers 1100s and tell him they're special tubes and he'll rave about the performance improvements

They just alter the torque band.

Yeah - but what an alteration.
Mike B. and I have experienced identical performance results.
In Mike B's words "after 4000rpm, all hell breaks loose". My experience as well. Plus a 20% improvement in fuel economy.
And - every fuelling, surging, idling etc problem I had disappeared in one fell swoop by fitting $20 worth of GS tubes.
Bike is totally stock otherwise.
Yeah - in my opinion - they work.
Go back to an earlier post with a Dropbox link to installation pics.

I wanted to try it some time ago, but I didn't think you could with an S
Yes, I know it moves the torque curve, it moves it to the rev range that I use the most, and most other people would too I would guess.
I cant compare my bike to a GS having never ridden one. All I can say is I really like this modification, It suits the way I ride the bike. So they will be staying lol.
Lets face it, anybody can spend about £20 and try it for themselves. They can make up their own mind.
Nothing from the S is cut or altered, so it's a simple job to take them back out if you don't like the results.
Rocket sprockets as well? yes, they add even more to the midrange. I would also loose the cat.
