Default Heavy Breather Users?
Question for heavy breather intake users. Any leg clearance issues when putting your feet up on crashbar/highway pegs? Pondering selling my buddy my Ventilator set-up and going with the heavy breather for a simple change of looks. I know their isn't any leg issues when feet on the floorboards. Thanks for the input..

I just went from a Heavy Breather to a Ventilator. I found that the Heavy Breather gave me more leg room.

Ive got no problems with mine. Not sure how your hwy pegs are set up, but my feet are wider when on the hwy pegs than when on the floorboards. I normally ride with my heel on the board and ball of my foot on the hwy pegs and it is super comfy. No issues what so ever with the breather.
