Default Wow! Big Differance!
Just upgraded to a SE Ventilator on my 10 FLHTK. First ride and wow! what a differance, definitely seemed to have more power and quickness. Don't know if it being 32 degrees out helped some, but it sure was fun! Can't wait for some warmer weather to really test it. Right now I'm running SE Slip-ons, VIEDS and now SE Ventilator. Next will be either De-catting my head pipe or buying one. Should of upgraded alot sooner!

What did you have before? If you had a high flow AC before then it's probably all in your mind. My bike always seems to run better right after i change the oil too.

I always think this. I also have the ventilator. Get a lot of sucking noise. Did you remove the gas tank so you can pull off the bracket between the rockers. I didn't remove my bracket and I get oil seepage.

Didn't remove the tank, just lifted it enough to get a small ratchet in there to remove the bracket.

I didn't need to remove my tank to take the support out, just a 3/16" allen wrench....one flat at a time, until I got them out.

I didn't like the sucking sound of a SE Heavy Breather, sounded like crap. That's why I went with the S&S Super, nice and quiet.
