Screaming Eagle Ventilator A/C
Looking at options for breather for my RKC. I had the standard Stage I A/C on my last bike, liked it, but want to go a different direction on the Road Glide. Never liked the "snorkel" look of the heavy breather. I know they use the Ventilator on the CVO Touring bikes, and like the looks of it. I've had one person send me a pretty bad review on the unit, so I thought I'd see what experiences others have had with it. I like the idea of a little more leg room, but am concerned about the performance of the unit.

Not just a LITTLE more leg room - a LOT more.

I love mine. Not sure how you one could give it a bad review. It's an air cleaner, I mean come on, what was expected?
I'm also on a '10 CVO SG. Dyno tuned and all, and I've got no problems with the engine suffocating. And lots of leg room.

I did see some dynos somewhere comparing it to a heavy breather on a very large CID bike. I know it was at least a 117. Anyways, like someone above posted, the difference was minimal. The ventilator will flow plenty of air for up to at least a 110CID build. Zero issues with legroom and it looks pretty good too....

if you like the looks, then that the one for you.
it'll flow enough for that motor.
If you are cheap ( like me) look at the ness kit- $115 shipped from easternpc on ebay.
clean tidy install---that is for the chrome backing plate, which is easier to wipe clean that the grey or black kits.
