Question Arlen Ness Big Sucker?

Anybody have one of these? I am looking to put one on an 08 RK. Satisfied, disastisfied?

Can I use my current cover or do I have to buy a new one? I can't tell...

I use one with the stock cover. I'm very happy with it. No more dripping oil out the AC since going with the AN BS AC.

It works great. Sounds nice too you can hear it flow more. The rubber seal around the stock oval has to come off. I got the chrome version cause you can see the backplate a little from the side.

I also put one on my 07 about a week ago and have found it to be great for the first 100 miles or so. Don't forget that you want to put some sort of fuel management system on the bike.

Just out of curiosity, what don't you like abou it? It looks pretty damn cool, but I figure I can get the same results by spending a lot less...

They work great. The Big Sucker I works with your stock cover and the Big Sucker II will need a different cover.

I put it on and drove a few miles. I have a Dyna and the foot position makes your leg slam against the snorkle. My foot felt like it was going to fall of the peg because my knee had to be so far out. Would be fine for on a bike with footboards.
