Trak-Tek is a GREAT company, and the RamFLO is a really nice functional product.

A lot of people love the look - and if you do you won't find a better A/C... I personally like the ham can or else I would be running a RamFLO.

The people at Trak Tek are standup, and you should have no worries or quarrels about using them.

Also, I think they are the main distributor for RamFLO... so you'd be ordering from the right place...

Hope this helps.

I think the Ramflo looks pretty cool. I am thinking about an A/C change from the SE setup. Also getting tired of the blowby and might put the cross over tube like they suggest. Tim

Hey Tim,

Did you ever get one of these? I'd be interested in seeing one on a bike.

For anyone, have you figured out a way to do a crossover tube inside a SE AC?

No I have not changed the AC setup yet, but will proabally go with the Ramflo. Saw a post on someone who tapped into the the top of the breather bolts, inside the AC cover, then ran rubber lines outside the AC to a filter. He tapped a set screw into the end of the breather bolt to seal it. This way it functioned as a crossover but was concealed. I looked for the site but could not find it. Tim

I was thinking of tapping the bolts myself, kinda tired of the oil film.
My thoughts were to shorten the tubes a little and tap into the front and run lines to the bottom of the frame.
Its not so bad until I'm on the freeway, then it makes the list of things that suck.

If and when I do I'll let you know how it works out.

Installed the Ramflo and could not be happier. Great looking AC. You can hear it sucking air as you go! No more oily mess down the side of the bike either. I vented the breather tube to the atmosphere. Bike is filthy but when I clean it I'll post some pics. Tim
