Default Question about Heavy Breather

Anyone using the Harley Heavy Breather air cleaner? I really like it's looks but was wondering how well it works and if it's noisy. I'll be upgrading my XL1200R real soon and just want to get all of my research done.
As always, thanks a lot.

love mine!! It works awesome and if you listen close, you can hear it sucking air in like a car or truck with a cold air intake. I wouldn't say its noisy....

Just installed one on my new Iron with V&H Short Shots. I got the black to match my bike. I like the look & the added performance. My bike can breathe now.

Love mine also, I had it powdered flat black (chrome wasn't cutting it). It isn't noisy, but you can hear it pulling air and it breaths well beyond what most people will do to their bikes mod wise.

+1 on that. I couldn't be more happier with it. Love the looks and love how it works. The air intake hiss was a bit unnerving at first because I thought I did something wrong.

I love mine. I ran a forcewinder on my sportster, while being the same style, i like this one better. Never had any problems with it either. By the way, don't let anyone tell you that you can't ride in the rain with it either, rain is a no issue as long as you use the sock for it.

I love mine and you can hear it a little bit. It sounds cool, I think anyhow.




And before you ask the next question. Ive ridden in the rain with mine and NO I had absolutly NO H2o problems what-so-ever. They give you a condom for it to keep the rain out and ive forgotten mine at home and still was all set. Again, YES it can get wet
