I just installed mine the other day and live it took me approx 15mins to install and that's cause I went slow due to having to redo the wiring for my LEDs that were on the tank. I think it looks good

Looks read good. I bought one last week and waiting for it to get her. Installed 2 on my friends dynas and they look good also. I think if there were a lot of cooling affects the manufacturer would make it that way from stock. I just like the look.

If the MOCO did it you wouldn't buy it as aftermarket, and spend more.

DK Custom Products sells em for a pretty reasonable price. They are also a forum sponsor. I'm gonna get one soon. Think it'll look awesome paired with my apes once I get that project done. Waiting for my tax returns...

Loosen your rear tank bolts and you front tank mount, you should be able to slide your tank back a bit and get the clearance you need.

Remember to tighten them all back up once you have it slid all the way back.
