Default Does anyone have this velocity stack mounted on their bike?

If so can you post a pic of it mounted?



I was perusing my auto-searches on eBay and ran across these.......http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...26311&rd=1

I like it because it is small, efficient, clean and has a filter element in it to clean the air. Bye bye honking huge knee knockers! I bet it will sound bitching along with the V&H Straightshots!

It's the first time I've seem this one but it looks promising. It's especially nice since it includes the breather bypass kit. Anyone know who makes it?

If I'm not mistaken it is made by S&S.

I've never seen it before but I like it. I've been trying to find a velocity stack or something similar, may have to give this one a shot.

I think it looks cool. I also think it looks very restrictive. There's not much air filter surface there.

Looks good!

The filter looks to be the same size as the HD heavy breather. Should really Suck the air!

It appears to be similar to the K&N Forcewinder & Heavy Breather element. If it's the same element, it should breath well.

I do like the look of this. I dont particularly dislike the look of the Ham Can, but would prefer something smaller and further forward so my right knee could grip the tank.

Perhaps I'm talking out of an orifice not genreally associated with verbal communication, but I would have thought a more flared wider opening would have forced more air in. Perhaps there is a point at which the wind pressure would cause damage to the filter element.

Im definately displaying my ignorance on this point, but whats "the breather bypass kit" cHarley's referring to? Is this perhaps some system to prevent excessive pressure on the filter?
