THe compressor does look a little out-there, but my big question is this... Why are some products marked as "in-store purchase only" (as this set-up is)? It seems to be random and doesn't play much part in the difficulty of installation. I've seen some parts that only a real motor head could install being available online and some that any moron (even me) could install being available only through the dealer... What's up with that?
I'd like to see what that unit looks like as well! And where does it call to install and what impact will it have installing with the H-D cylinder fan in place?

Thought about this myself. Do they do this to make the dealers order stuff. Does it have to do with marketing? - Gives you a reason to have to go to the dealer where you may see something else ya gotta have. I am sure the dealers don't want to compete with the MOCO's website so there may be a grace period before the stuff hits the web for online purchase - It could also be driven by availability - Good question though
Sorry Bountyhunter! I never hijack threads - I owe you one and it won't happen again!!!!! The Mini-Beast II is the only other one I have seen that is comparable in size and price - It is loud and has a two-toned Bleeeeeeet and the cover hides the compressor quite well - It is not quite as mini as I thought but it looks okay - The wire harness is made real well and it integretes with the horn button perfectly - I hope we can find out how "out in the open" the Harley model is plus a review of it's sound quality
