I get the feeling his knee must rub on that quite a bit. It looks like some kind of exchanger. It can't be a turbo it would have to be connected to his exhaust. I guess I'm trying to say I like my harley simple and straight forward, just my few cents,gents!

You probably could call it an exchanger of sorts.....exchanges air for power. It actually is a blower used to compress air and fuel mixture similar to what we used on cars way back in my racing days.

turbo is the way to go. much lighter and way more efficient. But i will say that the whine of a roots SC is unreal just youtube an 03-04 mustang cobra and tell me you dont want one. whatever way you slice it that certainly is a badass upgrade.

Yes sir, you can not deny the draw of a blowers whine. I was hoping to catch the owner when he left, I really wanted to hear it and ask him how it ran.

Maybe it's just an air conditioner for the incoming air.
