Thank you Sir. It took me quite a while to find one that had two barbs and wasn't chrome.

I think that’s the only one in existence. I have a couple extras in case Amazon stops selling them... Note that the barbs are a little small for 3/8” and too big for 1/4” fuel hose. I used 1/4” and heated it up a bit to fit it over easier.

Mchad,

Have you considered getting some floorboard extenders? I put these on my old 2010 Street Glide, and they were awesome. They only move the boards 3/4" outward (to the left and right, respectively), but what a difference in comfort, and general room to move your feet around. On the right side, it helps keep your heel away from the exhaust pipe, and might just give you room to clear your knee/thigh from the air cleaner. On the left side, it gives you a ton of room away from your shifter(s). You might want to give it a try.

P.S. Never scraped a floorboard with these either, and I ride pretty aggressive.

Good suggestion, but I’ve already scraped the boards and don’t want to add 3/4” outboard. Besides I already sold the AC to a member. I’m sticking with my Heavy Breather Elite.

Thanks though!

I went to Jamie at Fuelmoto on Tuesday this week to have my bike tuned by him. He ran it with the HD ventilator air cleaner i had on the bike and then showed me what it was without the HD brand ventilator. There was an exactly 10 HP and 10 TQ difference without the HD brand. We then put his brand of the ventilator on and did in fact gain the 10 HP and 10 TQ. Came out after tune to what have now at 129.45 HP and 129.40 TQ. Very happy with the final results. Big thanks go out to Jamie for taking the time to go the extra steps to help me on my bike’s tune.

Do you still have this, and want to sell?
