The only thing that would concern me about this setup is the rain.  On an Ultra, going down the road in the rain wouldn't be a big deal, but if the filter gets saturated with water, then guess where the filter oil/water is going to drip?  All over your floorboards, brake pedal, etc, it seems to me.  The leg room would be nice though.

I would guess these wouldn't be recommended for bikes w/lowers, because of the lowers restricting the airflow as forward as these are.

S&S sells rain covers for them.

S&S sells rain covers for them.

Do they inhibit fow much? First I thought they were for when you're parked. But they say you can ride with them. Thanks. Hoist!

Condoms, huh?  It might work then.  I'd like to see one in person, both with and without condoms...

From Hoist:  There's a chance, albeit a small one, that I'll be switching to the S&S Single Port Dual Induction System at my tune, after I get the bike back. But if I keep the DPP, I'll definitely be rerouting the breather lines beneath the bike as I showed earlier. Hoist!

Come on, you've got to get the S&S setup and test it for us and provide photos <grin>.  I'm so close to pushing the impulse button and getting one myself, but there's a little voice reminding me to be practical just this one time when it comes to the bike. Aside from the potential small increase in TQ across the low-mid rpms as S&S marketing hype shows in their own dyno above their own tear drop A/C setup.  But, for $650, just not so sure I'm sold on the looks for my bagger.

We will be testing it and comparing it to the DPP. It has to show a marked improvement over the DPP for me to give up my S&S Teardrop! I'm trying to get the most out of the mods I'm making right now. If that includes this induction system and changing from the SPO's to the Fatcats, so be it! I'm looking to bring this beast to life right now! Hoist!

[Bagger]

Thanks Bagger. I like it but do have mixed feelings about it's looks. I'd really hate to give up the S&S teardrop look. But if it flows much better, and makes better TQ as claimed, it would definitely sway me in that direction. Just when you think you're done, something else always comes into play! Hoist!

Have you come across any discount prices for it?  You mention DPP and S&S Teardrop, so are you running the Doherty Power Pacc or the S&S Tear Drop setup? 

[Hoist!]

Have you come across any discount prices for it?

I haven't looked at all. These are hard to come by from what I understand, and you'll wait awhile for it after ordering, unless someone has it in stock. My tuner has one on the shelf. We'll use it for testing, and if I like it, I'll be buying it off of him. Hoist!

Hoist, when you test the S&S setup, please determine whether the head breathers can be routed to the atmosphere with hoses?

I'm new to this forum and saw this topic on S&S Single Bore Tuned Intake and hopefully I can help a little. If you check my gallery I posted a few pics. As far as actual performance numbers go I cant give facts right now. Heres the short version of the story I've been waiting almost 2 months for this flippin thing and it's been on back order. My exhaust and SERT was installed May 7th and Dyno'd 92 Hp and 107 Tq. I coudnt drive the bike stock any longer and said screw it put it on. Finally on Monday 6-25 it came in and I put it on that night. Again as far as actual numbers go I dont know but it did actually  make a difference you can feel especially in the mid range. The bike is running great so to spend another $200 for a Dyno to see a number is just not worth it especially with it running so great. Hope that helps just my 2 cents...

Thanks SD! That does help. You're butt dyno tells you it does too. My tuner has one and we're going to compare it's performance with my Doherty Power Pakk (if I ever get my bike fixed!). Welcome to the site! Beautiful bike and I like the look of that intake too. Good luck with your bike and enjoy the site! Hoist!

[SCRM-R]

Whether it increases performance or not, that thing looks cool as chit on that bike.  Nice job!

[Seegarsmkr]

Chit Chit Chit Chit (there goes more $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)...That thing looks SMOKIN'

Dawg, what type of AC were you using before?  Thank you for the pic and the report...I think I hate you.

...just thought of something more...Dawg, what changes did you make to the SERT MAP after the S&S?

Thanx,
