$129.95 MSRP for the AC and will fit under your stock AC cover, we also have other covers available for an additional $139 and up.

Read the reviews on the link. These are also MADE IN THE USA!
Its a good product guys but it does nothing to address the filter drip saturation and required me modding it to eliminate the issue. Bottom line is you need to rectify the issue to be considered a viable option.

The stealth has vented breather bolts just like the Ness and newer SE. The oil goes to the TB just like the others. Mine never leaked...

I respectfully disagree.

Besides not causing potential issues down the road by routing the oily air into the combustion chamber to cause carbon build up...

When you vent to the atmosphere typical max HP Increase is 5-8%, and typical Torque is Increased 4-6% in the 2000-4500 RPM range.

Most will notice this much of an increase in power in the RPM's that most riding is done in.

Don't know about the SE but Ness in made in China. That's why I didn't buy one on my last bike.

My Big Sucker I is clearly stamped "Made in USA"

Been running it for going on 4 years and not 1 lick of trouble.
That's good enough for me.

Bought it off of ebay from a vendor for $112 shipped to my home.

Pretty hard to beat that I think?

I guess Fuel Moto was giving me bad info. I bought my Rinehart pipes PCV and their billet A/C. I was at their shop on a road trip and they told me A/N was made in China, that's why I got the FM A/C. Sorry for passing the wrong info about A/N. I am again looking for A/C for my current ride and will keep A/N in mind this time.
