6. The diaphragm tends to wear and leaks also creating tune issues
You could have saved time and said it is made by Kuryakyn...
I've bought three things from them and owned four (one came with a bike I bought), each and every one failed and caused me problems.
I will never buy or recommend any of their parts ever!!!!!

Texas, I will say that everything my buddies have bought from the, cover wise, has always sucked. I was gifted some of their led turn signals and taillight for my dyna and they were exceptional. One of the nicest aftermarket led products that I have seen. I would still have the taillight if it didn't eject itself from my bike when I left a screw out (like an idiot).

Ya, I looked for a while to find the right one. Wanted the newer style frame with the evo and a carb. Came across this one with a fresh rebuilt motor and set up the way I like. It came with the goofy hyper charger. So far it's been fine but will probably get it changed out this winter.

Well, finally got a different air cleaner on. Went through the carb right away and put in a new slide and rejetted down a notch. Runs good.
