I don't have one, but I agree, they look awesome.

But, in the JP Cycles catalog, there is a note: For race or show applications ONLY

There must be a reason for this, and I have a pretty good guess what it is... Better off getting the RSD Venturi, at least that's the route I'm going...

Yeah, I'd be careful. Look very nice. Had one in my hands and took a look at it when it was being installed at my buddy's shop. Very small filter. Not sure how functional it will be... sucking in alot of crap into the motor is not a good thing. Was also thinking on getting RS Venturi A/C, which I also had in my hands (really nice looking and would look great on my scoot) but opted for J.E.T Airstack with Round HD Cover...

I wanted to go with the Stack....but was afraid of all of the junk getting into the engine..
I ended up with the Venturi...and couldn't be happier

I'd go with something with an actual filter. I sell a ton of RSD filters. Hit me up for discounted pricing.

I'm running one and I like it... Everyone always has something to say about running a velocity but hell...I have some friends that own a chopper shop here in Hawaii and all the bikes that come out of there are running V-Stacks they said just don't let water get in it. Oh yah I'm carbed but I don't think it would matter on the fitment.
