Default Arlen Ness Big Sucker Mod

I installed the Arlen Ness Big Sucker on my 19 Ultra 107 because I like the look of the factory air cleaner cover but wanted better breathing to take advantage of the Thunder Max ECM. Once installed, I realized that the entire top side of the air cleaner was covered closely by the factory cover. To allow more exposure and better breathing I removed the top portion of the stock cover. The only issue I can think of is rain but we do not get much of that in AZ and if it does rain I can always put a rain cover on it. Anyhow, I just wanted to share.

A few minutes with a Dremel cut off wheel and a file is all it took.

I like the way that turned out. Nice job on that.

Default Chain case tool - Glad sandwich box

Cut a glad sandwich box in half, diagonally. then the triangle piece will snap into your primary chain under the derby cover. just pour in the open area of the box, and you save the 15 bucks for the special funnel part.

I was having a problem connecting my gadgets to only one power source so I added another. Some people might disagree with me installing it where I did but I am about to replace the inner fairing anyway. When I do I will mount the port inside the glove box where it isn't seen.

Thought I would share. Gave it a clean look
I recently did this on my bike though I connected the lines to a catch can that is on the front left behind the lower fairing. With the way you have yours, have you noticed any oil residue on the back of the bike? Also, the hoses look really good. I have just basic black hose hanging down and it isn't very appealing. Where did you get the hose for your set up?

Nothing wrong with using that spot. What did you use for your power source?
