Bicycle... my road bike is valued at essentially what a stock street bob would be (with a bit of a discount). Much as I love the MC my bicycle is my baby. Although I almost have my wife about to let me pull the trigger on anew custom frame that I've been lusting after for almost 4 years (if you're into bike **** as much as engine **** look up "Speedvagen Bicycles").
To the Dyna, set up my work area so that I can hammer this out after my 45 mile morning pedal. The filter is about a half inch in diameter wider and easily double the depth of my current one.
I will say that the cleaner is beautifully machined and smooth.
The billet back plate has a piece that pops out and then the stack slides out (took me a while to figure that one out, I even pm'd misfit!).
Looking at my other breathers, I think I might be able to use them but if not I'll order the ones from HPI.
This a really cool design. You can tell the guy that designed this really knows CNC machining.
Did the velocity stack have an O ring for some sort of seat?
How thick is the backing plate?
What does the back side of the inner plate look like.?
Tokillya is good stuff. Had district 38 desert racing meetings that were called that required a shot of patron tequila that came out of the freezer. Meetings were on Friday night so you had a day to recover before the race.
That's right, I remember now. I grew up in the Willamette Valley, 60 so miles south of Portland where they're making those, WV is big bicycle riding country, that and the running capital of the world, Steve Prefontaine, Ni-ke, and whatnot don'cha know
I had a Trek 560 in the mid to late 80's, it was a good quick bike. I even won a Triathalon on it, "team" triathalon. Had a girl on our team, she swam, I rode, and a buddy ran.
As it happened, she had been an Oregon high school "state" champion swimmer , she crushed everyone, and it was her that enabled us to win
There were only two coed teams in the competition but hey, a win's a win
Be careful, folks "vehicle drivers" ain't hospitable like they used to be
Tomorrow after my daily bike ride I'll get it all set up. Not like I can ride much anyway. Yesterday I got out for a few miles since we were below 105 for a bit. I still haven't even done the first oil change as I only have about 60 miles on it since finishing up the engine! (Strange since I ride the other bike over 170 miles a week early in the morning).
Come one down, we have a killer bar right next to the pool table. The wife has started to collect Tequila and we don't sip!
love mine too. eyeing an upgrades though. ready to upgrade my fisher-price 1.5 to an s5 or something newer.
Ha! Indeed it might be time... What kind of riding do you do? I've been on an endurance geometry bike these last few years, nice and stable for long days in the saddle. I average about 4000 miles a year, little bit more now I hope.

Back from the morning spin and going to tackle the install now before it gets over 90.
To answer the questions above:
It's absolutely machined beautifully!
1. No rubber oring of any sort below the velocity stack, it slides into place below a machined lip of sorts and then seems to be held in place by both the cover and of course pressure from the filter and cover once bolted into place. Think I should use some gasket maker? It's very snug as is.
2. Backing plate is of various thicknesses but where it meets the velocity stack is almost half an inch thick, yet incredibly light.
3. I've attached a few pics for you.

I thing I see it, the stack slides into place from top instead of dropping in the center.. Grove catches the lip on the stack and the wing piece along with the filter element holds the upper half in place..
As long as the stack fits tight I wouldn't mess with any sealer unless the instructions say so..
Again a very nice design from HPI.. Thanks for the extra pics..
Yep it slides in nicely and snug. Install was super easy of course, 10 minutes in total. Unfortunately the DK breather bolts and spacers were too short so I'll have to order the ones from HPI. I took out the DK set up and will sell it off cheap I guess. This is still a nice narrow profile but much bigger than the DK. I'm curious if it will translate into a few additional HP although will be tough to guage since I've added in the cylinders and pistons above and beyond the AC. Now back to the long drawn out break in process before getting a Dyno appt!
