I fitted one to my 04 Road King Custom.
1) It looks pukka!!!
2) It sucked in much more air than my SE Stage 1 filter setup
3) I didn't have it dyno'd so I couldn't say whether there was any boost in performance
4) It felt like the bike pulled better
5) IT LOOKED PUKKA!!!!!

I'm thinking of putting another one on my 06 Softail

Its a great looking and performing piece of kit - so I'd recommend going for it.

Cheers

i have the d&m customs spike forward air cleaner.basically same but d&m is a lot better looking
my bike runs better now.but i also changed the pipes stage 1 jet kit.It really put a zing on 80"
evo.it grabs much more air then stock do to the forward mount plus it has a k&N filter.
