Really?

I like the look of the Ness big sucker II!

I'm very interested in it, because I haven't converted my iron to 1200 yet but I want the hp boost, and the throatier sound!

Is it an easy install? Is it a selection on the Fuelpak?

I have a 1200 with Vance and Hines Short shots with the baffle removed and home made lolli-pops. My A/C cost $59.00 and added a horse shoe so no more oil on my engine. I do not run a filter just screen. It's all you can do just to hang on without sliding to the fender and purrs like a kitten. I have 45 and 185 jets in the carb (remember those)? and dial the air/mixture screw until it runs like the Harley of my dreams.

Air intake is a personal preference. You can also check out this thread on some options. Good luck and happy hunting....

Yes, easy install, and there should be a map on Fuelpak, I'm running a Power Commander V .

THE breather bolts is about the cleanest set up I've used. With the Hammer setup
. You just have to clean the filters once a week to stop the drip.

This may be the wrong place to ask and possibly a dumb question but why are there no spike air cleaners made for an 09 sporty? I assume it has something to do with efi? Or maybe I just haven't found the one place that does make em..I've looked everywhere tho so if anyone has some input I'd really appreciate it thanks!

I am looking at the Cobra Powrflo intake in black. I just love the look and the reviews are great. I plan on waiting a couple months before I get it, but I'm fairly sure that's the one I'm getting. I do really like the look of the Figure Machine X-flo too though... LOL. Who knows what I'll actually get, but the Cobra Powrflo is a bit cheaper from what I can tell.

Depending on the price difference i would really just focus on what looks better to you. Personally i liked the figure machine ac and the fact it had a kn filter had me sold but youre right that it isnt really cheap.
