Not any worse than the stock HD vent,looks-wise it would depend on which model it's on and how that particular bike's set up.I don't see what the big deal with needing vents is anyway,no vent was better....not worth having a hole in your fairing to reduce buffeting 20 percent or less.

I believe that's Paul Yaffe. If you're looking for a muscle car look for you bike, I think it's pretty cool. Don't think it would look right on my Limited though.
