Question Zipper Thunder max

I have the TM on my 05 RK. It runs perfect with no ping in any gear. 95", Flat Tops, S&S 585 with gears. I'm adding Rhinehart true duals. What do you think of the TM

Well Zippers couldn't get it to work on my bike with the Rineharts. Of course I had the stock cams. The thing would overheat pretty fast sitting in traffic. They worked on the bike for about 8 hours at bike week in 2007. Rumor has it they have solved this issue.

I have had the ThunderMax on my bike for over 2 years now.
I have a 2007 UltraClassic. Rinehardt true duals, Zippers air cleaner and thats it.
Bike runs perfectly. No issues at all!!

Have it on my 2010Ultra Limited and love it. Plan on putting it on my 08 Street Glide which I have the Zippers sleeper kit on now.

What is the zipper's sleeper kit. My 05 runs perfectly, feels like a torque monster tho I have never had it on dyno. 21,000 mi and very strong.
