It is fairly bulky, but i have long legs and extended forwards so that hasn't been a problem for me but I can see that being a bitch if it was in the wrong spot for your riding stance.
But you say yours is hot? Why is that I wonder, mine doesn't feel any different of a temp than any other part of the bike even when crossing AZ in the summer heat. Could your motor be running way hot for some reason maybe?

I haven't had it on the dyno - i'd like to but I always end up spending the dough on other stuff. My map on my pcV is set up pretty close to dialed in though it seems, fuel moto is pretty legit when it comes to hooking that up. I went from the standard stage-1 filter setup to the kury so i really can't compare it to the heavy breather, wimmer, rsd, etc so it's totally possible that the kury sucks in comparison.

well, if your going cams and big bore kit(or juts cams), you want a filter with superior airflow. The velocity stack with a filter will be the weak link in getting air into the bike. It will rob the performance gains you can have by choosing a better flowing filter.

I called and spoke to ac Wimmer tech, and even the true velocity stacks they offer with 80 screen mesh he said he wouldn't run if he was riding the way I ride and didn't have access to a full shop that he can rebuild engines in himself. So I think a true velocity stack is off the table for me. Thanks everyone for the input. You probably stopped me from making a mistake. That is why I asked the question in the OP.
