They look really cool, but they're meant for race or show purpose's. I'd advise against it.

I agree on this one. Also, a velocity stack is anything but nostalgic.

Does a VS make the bike go any faster? Kinda hard to find an answer to this basic question on the internets.

Not much if any on a stock motor. Some sport bike riders claim 2 hp. VS helps to straighten the air flow but once you add a filter to it that sort of goes out the window.

I have 14k miles on my crossbones with no issues running the rsd nostalgia velocity stack. It is a heavy well made piece of equipment. I just took engine apart to install 107 kit and cylinders looked perfect. I know several other guys in Chicago that run them also with no issues. I would get the rain sock they make, but I wouldn't be worried about it.
