First let me say this to Brent: No offense meant to you bud! You da man!
Now on with it: (Just MY opinion here, it does not reflect anyone else, let them speak up for themselves)
It is WAY WAY overpriced for what it is. You can gain similar results by cutting holes in the bottom of your airbox and air filter.
They do not fit right, at least every single one I have seen needs some mods/bending/grinding/swearing to get it to fit and hold the covers on correctly. Another culprit has been the little side tab on the rear bracket that holds the tookbox in. They hit the chain and
clank everytime you go over anything larger than a coin laying in the road. I cut my tab off with a dremel and now the belt drive has sliced the entire side of the toolbox off completely. Good thing I don't put anything in it.
All of the holes that are used for rubber grommets on mine had to be ground out so the grommets were not distorted. It felt like the side cover plastic tabs were going to snap off everytime I removed them. The enlongated holes were stamped out vs. drilling and the fit was less than stellar.
I had to bend and rebend the left cover many times to finally get it so it would allow the faux cover to screw back on too.
It is made of steel, it will eventually rust, I would have preferred stainless for the $$ it costs.
With that said I will state that it is nice to be able to use the dual K&N filters and makes working on the carbs vastly easier. You can pull them off in minutes since you don't have to dick with the airbox anymore.
I do like it, I just don't like the price when compared with the quality of the thing.
You make the call though.
Flame suit on and ready for attack.
