See! Great unit ... why great? Looks great? Did you measure for performance?

I went for looks and performance. It's only money...

There are dozens of good looking, decent performing A/C's out there.
For for looks, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
Almost any "Hi-Flow" A/C beats the stock unit in performance, except for probably the Hypercharger.
For real performance, many vendors make all kinds of claims, but only a handful backup their claims with actual numbers. If the claims aren't backup by real dyno tests, be skeptical of the claims.

While I can't disagree with what you said, for the vast majority of Sportys used on the street, most aftermarket high flow air filters and a proper carb/EFI tune will add the needed power boost. If you're looking to eek out every little bit of power and performance then I agree with your statements. But that also includes a ton of money to drop.

For the average user doing a Stage I or Stage II, most of the aftermarket air cleaners (including the DKCustoms offerings) will give all the performance Sporty riders will likely need or use.

 

from the seat of my pants yes.

I guess i should clarify why its a great unit in my mind. price was right. it looks good, and has to breathe better than stock simply by design.

i didnt put it on the dyno, if that's what you are asking. the performance gains are probably small, but the bike definitley sounds different at WOT

 

I am Running the SE A/C (it came on the bike) and i replaced the crappy paper filter for a K&N E-3040 its 1/2 taller than the SE paper filter... all i had to do was add 1/2 longer bolts... BAM more air flow and better fatter look.

 

I DO like the look of the Ham Can A/C - stock or SE. That shape just looks absolutely great on the bike, and the SE version very effectively opens the intake and provides a good amount of more air.

 

Thanks for all the compliments on our Customer Service. I'm sure Natalie will be popping in here.

Regarding Dyno Charts, if you look at our air cleaner descriptions, most all of them have dyno charts in them. They are down toward the bottom with the pictures...just click on them to enlarge them.

A few important things in our charts-

1. Top left show max improvement...ie. WOT which is nice bragging rights, but it is NOT where most riding is done.

2. Lower right shows the increase where most riding is done, this is what you feel when riding day to day, and in our opinion, that is what is important when looking at improving performance.

3. These runs were done with the bike never leaving the dyno. Our process is to do 3 pulls, then change out the parts as noted, and do another 3 pulls. This results in the most accurate possible comparison of performance between the parts being tested.

I will in fact be popping in just to say a huge thanks from the customer service department here at DK Custom Products ( Dawn and I )

We hope that everyone has a very Merry Christmas, I will tell the company elf ( short joke towards Dawn ), to stuff a little extra in the stockings!!!
