heres a quick pick of what I got on the BSA, I put a micro screen on the intake surface......i don't know why it turned out so crusty looking in the picture, but it actually looks nice in person.
Thanks for all your reply's everyone!!! Hey Oldschool, that looks bad@$$!!! I love the idea of a filter too for that added protection, what brand is the above and where did you get it? Thanks!
hey man, got it from v-twin manufacturing. they are a wholesaler so ya gotta find a retailer, i got mine off ebay, bolts right up to the cv.
what everyone is sayin is right, they are not for performance unless yr doin serious track stuff. this one is total show no go but who gives a **** look at my bike lol.
I had stacks with screens on my 66 Norton Atlas but for the rebuild I got the air cleaner unit for the carbs, I was too worried about trashing the engine. Old skool has the ticket.
Can anyone point me to manufacturer of above stack with filter?

Hello Thomas,
I've seen plenty of velocity stacks in my time but none of them have had filters, at best they have a metal wire mesh across their bell mouth to stop your motor sucking passing seagulls or small rodents.
I have a 2011 XL883N 'Iron'. Three years ago I bought a cheap Chinese knock off of a Roland Sands Design velocity stack on Aliexpress,for the unbelievable low price of Ł14.20 including shipping to the UK. The stack was machined from aluminium billet and anodised black, The stack just had a stainless steel mesh across it's 3" diameter mouth. Here is one below.
I junked the stainless mesh on mine, I wanted the black look, so I bought a 3" diameter black speaker grill. I wanted my stack to have some kind of filtration so I bought a 12" square piece of filter media for an air conditioning unit, I cut three 3" diameter circles of the filter media to act as a filter for the stack. I then bought a 3" diameter piece of perforated stainless steel sheet, this went into the mouth of the stack first. I then laid the three pieces of filter on top of each other and put the speaker grill on top of them, the stacks retaining ring was screwed back on using black stainless button head screws and I had a velocity stack with an internal filter.
You can see the finished result in the photos of my Iron's motor below., all together the stack cost me less than Ł25.00 to put together and it works and looks great. They are also available in a silver anodised finish.
