So it was an aggravating weekend and turned into a major PITA to do my mods.. no real fault of the bike or the parts... just frustration from running short of time, short on the right tools, and short on patience...
I got the V&H Big Radius 2-2 pipes installed, Zippers MaxFlow a/c kit and the V&H FuelPak.. Also removed the reflectors when I finished installing the parts...
So now, if anyone needs advice on any of these parts, ask away... The pipes look and sound incredible.. the a/c kit seems to be really good quality.. and some people love it/some hate it, but I really like the V&H FuelPak... super easy to setup and make changes if ever needed.. also, may be a combination of all the parts but the bike runs MUCH better now!! It was super lean stock just felt sluggish.. now it roars...
How did ya make out with the air filter and backing plate? Did you have to shim the studs with washers?
The Zippers kit a complete replacement for the stock intake.. new backing plate and hardware to mount your stock outer a/c cover to it.. I plan on cutting the center emblem out of the stock cover like the mod done here in the diy cheap mod section.
