With warranty due to expire, I took my bike to Bairs to fix my HID light and glove box lock.  No way in hell I was taking it to my orginal dealer!!    While it is there I had them put Lloydz goodies in it!!

30 some degrees tomorrow, I'll be riding over 100 miles to check out the new goodies.  I'm really looking forward to it!!

 

Wanted to thank ScoreBo for his advise also.......

It will take you less than a 1/4 mile to notice the difference!!! Enjoy and TRY to keep it under 100 MPH!!!

Any of you guys with the cams notice they seem to make just a little bit more noise than the stock ones, not bad just a little louder I got to ride one and man the power difference is really NOTICABLE

From Kevinx told me once I had mine done, cause I said the SAME THING, it's not the cams you are hearing it's the additional air travelling through the NEW air intake...

the extra noise comes from the addition of the top air intake (in addition to the front air intake) and removal of the restrictive black rubber "snorkel".  The result is motor sucks in more air but also makes a litlle more noise......turn the radio up louder or get louder pipes

Yes it is definitely louder!! And I agree it is the added air you are hearing,,, it reminds me of the "supercharger" I had on my big block chevy with the sound.

Wife and I were taking care of the bill when I heard something start up. It was my bike and yes louder than before. You notice it immediately, even at idle. My atom bombs sounds different too.

It makes an unbelieveable power increase!!

I have to call them Monday to let them know whether or not I'm happy. :-)
