    Default JT air breather

    Ordered one the other day. Fast delivery and I will say it is well made and easy to install. Haven't had a chance to ride the bike yet, rain and more rain. You can definitely hear it. Will see how it sounds under different throttle. Do like the way it opens up the area around the engine. I can see why it lets your engine run cooler. Will take a few tanks of gas before I settle down and see how my gas mileage will be. Will be playing with it. Have no in tension of putting the stock air box back on. I kinda like the way it sounds. Another notch in my Spyder mods. Pretty well finished with mods. Would I recommend this, yes. Good product.

    Hi David,

    Re: You can definitely hear it.

    When I first installed mine, I thought, 'Wow, this is loud.'

    Now, I do not even notice it.

    You'll get used to it,

    Default Congrats....

    Great mod but your dreaming if you think your done or close to done.. I run a K&N filter with a large pore foam band to cut the noise a bit. Added some ram air ducts with turbo fans. You can see them in my albums ... so you see your never done. You will see the difference...

    I like the way that is set up. I have lights in mine, but could use the smaller holes. Will be adding the K&N when filter needs replacing. I have made my own handle bar risers, skid plate, belt tension-er, pin striped it. Added the sports fender, ultimate seat, fog lights, hand brake, mirror extension, madstad windshield, gps mount, cup holder, grip puppies, Mike's front shocks relocation, RT shocks on front, added 4" 900 lb spring to rear shock. Also gas door to seat. Looking for a place to mount the toilet now

    Hi David,

    It looks really great sitting there.

    We are still in the rainy season here. Ask in about a month; I 'might' have an answer.

    I do not think there will be a lack of air that should give you at least 25 more HP also!
