Default New HD Ventilator A/C just installed

I just installed the HD Ventilator on my 2010 Ultra. I really love the look of it and just thought I would share the pics. I am not sure if it will make much of a performance difference, I already had a Stage I, but it make me smile just looking at it.

Thanks to Kingan936 for the deal on the Ventilator kit.

Oh and if anyone needs the Stage 1 kit, mine will be going up for sale...

Just finished a test ride with it and it is noticeable vs the stage 1, especially from a stop and off idle. That surprised me but I am happy.

I've had mine for a little over a year now and it works great for me. Ran Ness BS for quite a while in the past.

Too bad they can't make the covers to sit straight..rather than slanted.
Makes em' look crooked. Never did understand that one.
That's why I went with a round one..
Sort of reminescent of the old 1200 bathtub AC covers, don't ya think?

Here's my all too common one..Any ideas what it is? It ain't no RSD either..
Not a K & N either that's just the rain sock that I run year round on the open filter..

I've had my SE Ventilator on my RK for a couple months now and really like it. It's a different look from the all-too-common round one everyone seems to have.

I put mine on last night too. Went for a ride today and I really like it. It does sit angled down in the front but oh well it's different than all the other bikes around here...............

If just planning on doing a complete stage 1 (on a 2010 SG 96) is the ventilator worth the additional cost?

For the additional $100.00 is it going to be worth it or is the ventilator better suited if you are planning more engine mods later and getting it just saves having to buy another A/C later.

I have the ventilator also, got it with the deal on my bike and stage 1. I've always liked the look of it and plan to keep it when I do engine mods.
