I know it's off topic, but please inform me what spoke size and info you used to fit that 16" tire! I am ordering spokes as soon as I know!

hey how do these modified air cleaners work compared to say a harley big breather. i just put v&h big radius pipes on my nightster and I'm trying to find an air filter that will work good with them but also looks good and these air cleaners have had the appearance Iv been looking for.

They will work ok, will be a bit starved for air at higher RPM's.

Check these out to see if any of the looks appeal to you. Plenty of flow with them at 240 CFM.

Those Joker Machine ones are the same thing that everyones making the cheap DIY into. They have the same setup just with a K&N filter which you can add to these for WAY cheaper than what those and the DK assemblies cost.

They will flow great air for street ridden bike. Your not riding a full on drag bike on the streets

In my experience you will get no reduction in performance over the stock ham can. If anything it will run better, but like I said in another thread I haven't dyno'd mine so I can't quantify the improvement. Mine runs better now than it ever did stock and the only thing I've done to the engine is the V&H 2 into 1 Blackout exhaust, the 4" homemade a/c and the Vied's.
