Been running mine for three years with no problems. It's a well made unit for one thing. I wouldn't purchase anything from Kuryakyn that important. Go to them for the cheap stuff like lens covers and crap like that.

Wow. Iridium spark plugs claim to add 2 hp or even 5. haha.

Oh well, the VS looks cool. Not my thing, but I can dig it.

Do you still have the bike? If so, can you post a photo?

...but if there ever IS an issue and you're forced to deal with PM/RSD customer service, you'll be SOL, cuz it's crap! Chrome started bubbling & flaking off my $600 RSD rocker box covers 2 weeks after installation. PM/RSD refused to replace them...basically telling me to **** off.

at the typical performance level of a stock or stage1 bike, it really doesn't matter a whole lot what you run for a less restrictive AC. The heads, valves and stuff are your more restrictive flow area. if you run without proper filtration you run the risk of ingesting dirt particles and scoring cylinder walls, bearings, journals etc. when you get into performance numbers of top builds then yes you have to take into consideration the affected airflow of VS designs.

Pretty funny - a VS for a hot rod is like $50 but for a Harley it's $400. ;p - but they do always look cool.
