Default Roland Sands A/C. Anyone using one

I wish to buy one of these but before I throw the coin, I'd like to know if anyone has one and are they the goods. One the web site they say the newer ones have hidden internal crank case breathers and our new tight seal oil separator insures a clean, leak free ride.. Does this part of the cleaner work fine as I'm looking at buying the "judge" and a rain sock to suit. Also if I use the sock and leave the bike out in the rain which cant be helped sometimes, will the sock work? Thanks for any help.

I have one as well. When they originally came out there was a bit of an isue with excessive blowby which they remedied by providing a rubbed piece taht routed any oil that blew out of the engine back into the intake. It sounds like they have redesigned it now. It is definitely the best looking a/c around. I sell them at a nice discount as well.

I have the Chrome Speed 7 on my Ultra, 7000 miles with no problems.

Would definitely buy again.

Yes we will. Order it up and send an email to Shawn @drvtwin.com letting him know you want USPS shipping (unless you want to pay an arm and a leg) and we will take care of it for you.

On second thought, I think the web site will compute fedex shipping if you order direct off the site. Email Shawn at info@drvtwin.com and he can get you all set up.
