Mine felt like it was shaking a lot more than usual, so I propped it up, undid the top front engine mount, lifted the engine with the jack, and retightened everything.

We have tested well over a dozen different configurations, and have a dozen or more before we are completed. We will be sharing our finding after we are done, in a comparison mode.

Yesterday, the 3 set-ups we tested were:

Progressive Springs
Omni Springs
Race Tech Springs

We have run the AN Inverted A/C's on multiple Twin Cams, never a Sportster, but there is no reason to believe they will not function well, once optimized with an EBS.

The quality is very good, and they look great. The only reason I am not running one right now is because they really stick out quite far from the side of the engine. For the way I ride, that is not comfortable. However, we have MANY Customers that it does not bother at all, and they love them.

HERE are our Optimized AN's that we carry in stock. We can also get any other style and optimize them for the same price...wait time 1-2 weeks.


Photo of one installed on my TG...note that the EBS is Completely Hidden!






Photo of a Customer of ours, note that he chose a different EBS for it that is somewhat visible.






Here's a photo of one on my Softail with a hidden EBS.

Thanks. Did not know you carried those. I would definitely have bought it from you if I did not get employee discount. I also have mid-controls so the AC should not get in my way.

one question, how do you retain the external breathers since the back plate incorporates the breather system

thanks,

yes different look and perhap slightly better performance (but I doubt it) since it functions like a v-stack. I am keeping the v-stack on the side and will switch it out when I want a different look.

Contact the shop, we optimize AN A/C's on a regular basis. It is not a kit you can buy & install like our other EBS kits, what we do is modify part of the AN unit.

When you contact the shop they will let you know what parts you need to send us.

Feeling a little rebellious today waiting for it to warm out of the 40s so decided to remove the WARNING label from my air cleaner cover. Already feels like the performance has increased and haven't even ridden it yet......
