Default What intake is this??
I purchased this bike used, not having much information about it. I knew it had v&h dresser dual headers and mufflers. I purchased a fuelmoto stage 1 intake....but when i pulled the stock cover i found this. It just doesnt look stock! Is this an hd stage 1???

If it is, should i even bother swapping out for the fuelmoto unit???

Thanks!

Not sure what brand but definitely looks like a stage 1 a/f to me. I would just return the fuel moto and run what's on there personally.

The big sucker has two bolt flanges outside the ring where the filter sits, But may be an older Arlen Ness intake. That is also a similar design to SU carbs systems. Are there numbers or markings on the back, and what year bike. Cant rule out S&S yet, definitely not the teardrop but could be a ram or open air.

Looks like a SE backing plate to me.

Not stock carb either-butterfly.Take the a/c off so we can see the carb. I'd also keep that a/c.
