I'm thinking of adding a VFC and VIP to my 011 V8Ball. Then I came across the Twin Sucker. It just seems to be a nicer product. Does anyone have any experience with the two? That is the Twin Sucker VS the Vision Intake Plate.

For any performance stuff I would go directly to Lloyd's. He has dyno tested just about every setup out there and will direct you for the best bang for your buck. Any performance stuff that isn't done right is a waste of money. It's not cheap to do it right.
You can find info on this site or go to http://www.lloydz.com/

You can't go wrong with either one. Lots of guys get great dyno results with the Twin Sucker and Big Honker exhaust. Arlen works hand in hand with the Victory engineers so if you like that one better, go for it and sleep like a baby.

i have the intake plate and it feels akinda cheap. when you remove it you will see what i mean. basically a sponge between to plates. im not sure how well the intake plate "filters" that air since i have been able to remove it and see dirt right below the intake plate in the opening.

Ark,
I thought the same thing. I have the intake plate and sprayed a real light layer of K&N filter oil over mine just to catch extra fine stuff but not clog the filter. I clean it with K&N cleaner every 10K.

I changed mine all together. I ran the bike for a couple days with out any top air filter. I didn't think I would do any thing wrong cause I don't do dirt road and I paid attention where I was going. The bike seamed to run strong and very quick with out racing some one you just go by the seat of your pants. So I bought the Ness top filter and the copy cat front filter off ebay. I did some internet searching and found the K&N flows about the same or just a little better then stock. So I left the stock front filter in place. ( I'll sell the front k&n filter) I put in the top filter and ran it for a good thousand miles. No miles per gallon in crease and maybe just a little more power. I felt the bike was quicker with out the filter. So I went to work looking for something so I could do away with the ness top filter. I was in fleet farm walking by the lawnmower section and stop in my tracks spying what I wanted.There was this green foam used for lawnmower air filters. Holding a flash light up to it you can see threw it and it feels dense to the touch so I think it will filter just fine. A hole $1.98 came home tuck the conceal off and pulled the ness filter cut it out of the aluminum plate witch was very easy to do and now use the green filter witch is the same size as the mounting plate 4"x7". I feel the bike is way quicker but haven't raced any one yet and get 45 mpg witch I did before.
