Default Arlen ness AC and noise?
Recently installed the AC. When at higher rpms and on the throttle it sounds like something is loose..All is tight .Is it something with the new bikes.
Just annoying the hell out of me

I just installed an Arlen Ness Big Sucker. So far no issues....I was expecting some additional sounds with the big stock AC backing plate gone but sounds the same as stock so far.

This may be a long shot but tighten your front tank bolt
