Heavy Breather questions
For those with the heavy breather does it interfear with your leg position on the boards? I know it comes with a water sock, but if you get caught in a downpour will it suck water into the engine?

Not a problem.
I haven't gotten caught in the rain yet but I think you would be ok with the sock. Not even close to being a bother to your legs as I thought the same as you before I bought it. You will love the look and you can hear it sucking the air.

Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I had it in my mind that was the breather I wanted. I talked to three different techs and they showed me dyno sheets that compared that breather to the SE part # 29260-08 that looks alot like the stock one.
Everything else being equal, that breather seems to be a very mediocre performer at best. Will not give numbers like the part # 29260-08. It does look cool though.
I am not trying to tell anyone not to use it. Just sharing what I have observed.

I would agree that it is about looks. A 1450 or 1550 is not drawing a huge amount of air so a K&N behind the football cover is as open as the heavy breather-or close enough anyways. It does look alot better than the football thought! Just tell sportbike kids you get 15Hp from it
