Here's an update to my post "I need more torque off the line" several weeks ago. My ride is a 2012 Ultra Limited with a 110 SE motor with SE 259 cams, Baker DD7, and some other toys that were installed in 2018. Stage 1 with stock air cleaner, D&D headers and V&H slip-ons then TTS tuned. With all that, it had no giddy-up!!
Well, last month I upgraded my Stage 1 (Stage 2 now?) to an Arlen Ness inverted air cleaner and Cobra 909s to my D&D headers and TTS tuned. All done by Bradz Kustomz in San Antonio. Man...I've got a rocket bike now!! It's like having a new bike. No complaining about torque now. It should be against the law to have such fun!
If you're in or near San Antonio and need work done (I'm no mechanic) I highly recommend you give Brad a call.
I was thinking about buying one of these air filters. How is the ride? I have read that they stick out too far. Did you have to adjust they way you ride at all?

I've had one of the Ness Inverted Suckers for several years. Looks fantastic, but as noted it does stick out a bit, and depending on your inseam and seat specs you may need to rest your leg against it. I just went with a lower seat and my leg seems to be hitting the air cleaner more than it used to...a minor annoyance no doubt, but I can probably live with.
Switched up some parts. All the vance and hines stuff is off and going on a buddies bike. Fuel Moto Rtx 2:1, trask cam cover, and powervision with fm map. Definitely feel the gained torque back on the low end. Excited to get some miles on it.

I really like the Trask stuff. I still have one of these Trask cam covers, but didn't put it on the bike because I was told the design gets in the way of the header pipes, and can cause damage to the cover.

I don't have any clearance issues at all on the cam cover. At least a 1/4" from the header/heat shield. I absolutely love the way it looks.
Tonights garage fun on the bagger was.... swapped out my 10" yaffes for a set of 14" FXR Division Motorwitch Bars. Rode a buddies and likes the way it felt so figured I'd give em a shot. Makes the bike look way different. I like it.
