Well......this is the story of the last 48 hours. During my wild excursion of repairing/ updating the "Mystery cycle", I have found myself in a uphill battle with destiny! New hand grips, check. Removed primary to replace clutch pack and plates, check and well check except I'm down grading from SE to OE not realizing when I opened it up it would have such reasonable parts on it. Original reason for pulling the bike apart, stator fried, ordered part will be in by the end of the week! Now to the most mind boggling and very much disappointing event. Put the new air shocks on the bike, when I aired them up on the ground, I noticed that one side was compressing and the other was almost fully extended?! Odd indeed, after further inspection I noticed a large gap in the swing arm and wouldn't you know it? It's broke!! Almost all the through! So this has been my unfortunate adventure, stay tuned boys and girl, for the next adventure of Scooby and Mystery Cycle continue. I will give updates.....hopefully....if I haven't used a cup of gas and a match by then.

Got the load-all ramp setup installed up in Laconia Sunday. Now I can take the bike with me when I go down to Delaware for the fall nascar race, then to Pa the following week. Bike looks huge in a truck with a 5 1/2' bed. Well worth the money.
im curious, don't the lowers defeat the purpose of a heavy breather?
I don't think so. It will flow more air than the motor can use. I think at a stage 1 level any open style intake will do more than is needed cfm flow wise. Stage 1 imo. Get What you like the looks of. Stage 2 and up. Start considering the flow more than the looks.
I have a simple stage 1. CVO mufflers with fullsac baffles 2" and the steel mesh wraps. Gutted cat this new intake and a FP3 tune.
