RE: Nightrider O2 IED's - Field Test
Joe,
I found this it should give you the numbers your looking for.
HD stock - 171 CFM
Stage 1 Big Sucker = 200 CFM
Stage 2 Big Sucker = 250 CFM.
Kuryakyn Twin Velocity = 270 CFM
K&N RK3909 = 233.3 CFM
K&N E-3014 = 248 CFM RK=3009 kit
K&N E-3037 = 301 CFM RK=3910 kit
HD-0800 = 231 CFM SE replacement
Doherty Powerpacc = 287 CFM
SE Air Cleaner = 287 CFM
Zippers = 321 CFM

Count me among the XIED group now. Just got mine in today's mail. I have been running the IED's for a bit over a month. I'd really like to experience the difference but the damn weather is just not going to cooperate today. It rains about every hour regular as clock work today![:@]
Maybe tomorrow will bring better luck![8D]
FWIW the bike was much better with the IED's. But it would still get hot enough with the fairing lowers installed to go in to heat management mode while riding in stop and go traffic. This was happening in 75* weather. I really didn't think it would be a problem until much warmer temps. Had to pull them off. I was really hoping to be able to run them all season since they really improve the buffeting on my RG. Guess not. Maybe the XIED's will change that!

Just got mine in the mail today. I didn't get to ride around too much, had other things on the to do list. I didn't notice anything too different right off, but again I only went around the block. Monday will be a better test, as I will take it to work. Over a hundred miles round trip and stop and go traffic getting out of the city in the afternoon. If they keep the heat down, I will be a happy camper.

Leave the lowers on and try it with the air baffle removed. That might do the trick.

Thanks Cruiser. I don't really want to hi jack this thread into a warranty thing
. There's enough of them already.I think there's more to the act than people think. I doubt that it would be an easy thing to put in play and HD would go broke doing free labor and parts.Another time...another thread..

Don't want to get too far off topic. But, I'm assuming you are talking about the baffle on the lower fork mount right? If so, I thought about that but figured that should be pushing more air down across the engine with it on. Am I thinking backwards on this?

RE: Nightrider O2 IED's - Field Test
Don't count on 4 weeks till delivery. I ordered mine (XIED)Thursday and Friday morning got an e-mail saying they were shipped. Just checked with USPS and they are on the way. Fantastic service in my book. I will not be in a big rush to put them on as I want to ride 50 or so miles just before I install them, check temp etc. then install and run same 50 miles and recheck and report results.
