Hey all, looking for comments or reviews on DK's 636v front facing air cleaner. I have an '05 883L, mechanically stock besides SEII slip-ons that came with the bike. I really like the look of the 636v but looking for some real world users with reviews.

New exhaust is on the horizon, just not sure which direction to go. I know I'll have to screw with the jetting, but that's another thread later on.

Also, I'm trying to decide which breather system would be best for my application. Any insight?

Thanks

 

Any after market, as well as the stock air cleaner, will provide all the air a stock 883 will need. That said get the one you like.

Don't have a 636 but have a 587. All stage 1 air cleaners are similar. I have read in some threads on here that the only issue with 636 or any open ac is when it rains....but there are ac rain covers. It is a personal preference like most stage 1 upgrades.

 

When it comes to forward facing A/C's they have a different design and in some cases that design can be of help with air flow. The 636v is a patent pending design and can be of significant help. The structure of the tube is designed so that it produces a Venturi Effect which speeds up the air intake velocity flowing into the intake whether the bike is moving or not increasing power across the entire RPM range when compared to other aftermarket A/C's. You can read more about the 636v here: http://www.dkcustomproducts.com/Outl...636V-SP-CS.htm

When it comes to breathers, in the interest of engine performance and longevity it's always better to vent the hot, dirty, oily crankcase air to atmosphere. DK Custom offers 6 different breather options for the 636v to give your bike exactly the look you're after.

 

Will my current exhaust set up (SE-II Slip ons) be sufficient in addition to rejetting?

 

You should have good results with your SE-II's and the 636v. On my '06 883 I found with slip-ons and free flowing A/C that a 45 pilot jet, stock main jet, 2 brass #4 shims on the needle and 2 1/3 turns out from light seat of the air/idle mixture screw was a great running combination. Of course those carb settings went right out the window when I did the 1250 NRHS upgrade

 

I went with the DK Outlaw Black Cyclone as I love the look and i wanted to vent the engine to the atmosphere and not back into the inlet.

 

Thanks Darryl for the info. I'll be placing an order soon!

 

@Darryl - I am so accustom to seeing Kevin, Devin, Dawn, and Kelsey's name, but do not recognize your name. Did you just join the DK Customs team? DK is so awesome with it comes to responsiveness, customer service, and quality aftermarket parts.

 

Glad to be of help! Post up some images when you get your 636v installed, I'd love to see it
