What better performance will you get from installing a heavy breather over your stage 1?

Do you need any special tools when installing the SE Heavy Breather? I haven't worked on a bike myself and am a little nervous doing it.

Is a piece of cake that simple ... just take s a few basic tools if don't have a set of socket allen wrenches and Torque wrenches shouldn't be working on a Bike anyway...

Jay is right, a socket for the breather bolts, a set of allen wrench and a torque wrench. It will take you longer to pull off the stocker than it will take to install the Heavy Breather.

it should take about 20 minutes if your in a hurry

edit: hopeuflly you realize im joking about everything except the 20 minutes part. its a simple job, just look at the instructions and youll know if its something you can do.

Speaking of air cleaners...Where is yours? I may be blind but I sure dont see it. You must have followed your own directions. You will note that your directions never say to install the breather!
