Rocket Rod has hit the nail on the head in that someone with some technical knowledge and hands on skill can manufacture this device for next to nothing.
I suggest that those interested should read past postings on this website and also type in TRE on a search engine such as google and you'll be surprised at the amount of comprehensive information on this subject--how they work and how to make it.
Does the bike go better?? I've heard various comments both positive and negative but at the end of the day I haven't been presented with any facts nor data that the bike performs better or is more rideable in normal day to day riding.
Many companies make many claims that can't be substantiated by facts or data . The claim that one particular rider can now do wheels stands after fitting the device is a load of BS. I'd suggest he/she has learnt the technique exercising there right wrist . The busa will lift the front wheel without a TRE.
Rosco's idea is good and there are companies that also market an adjustable TRE which is similar to what he is proposing. Once again there needs to be a fairly substantial movement in performance to be felt by seat of the pants evaluation. Testing under controlled conditions is really the only way that can be evaluated.
At $299 there might be what is called the "Placebo" ie people will convince themselves that "it" works because I've been told it works.
Something to think about on a lazly Sunday morning

ps if you wish to build a TRE the plugs can be purchased and no cutting of wires are required as for warranty on a new bike . I'd explore this aspect with Suzuki 1st just in case anything does wrong --it may not be related to the TRE but if there is an element of suspicion with a warranty calim where it is found that the owner has tampered with he bike --I'm sure you all know that's never clear cut <i></i>
