Default PM FASTair Intake

Anybody running one? Looking to change my AC this winter to a "forward facing type". Most likely I'll just get a SE Heavy Breather, especially since they now make the throttle cover.

I am doing PM wheels so I thought I would look at the PM intake also. I like its looks. Not sure how well it covers up the FBW throttle area though, or if the HD throttle cover would work.

Any thoughts, pics, or reviews?

Well, those observations were helpful.

assuming you have an 08+ model, that plug on the intake is ugly and hard to hide...you can get the bolt on cover-- but then that thing sticks out because it visually interrupts the vertical line of the rear intake pushrod cover.

to my eye, the H-D has so many swoopy lines, that the strong straight lines in the motor and trim really stand out- and if they are interupted by a cover of some sort, the eye hangs up on them.

but the thing I hate most of all is a front fender that has been dropped on the mounts, and no longer follows the same arc as the rotor, wheel, tire- ooops!
