Thanks Ken. I was hoping to have it installed yesterday but USPS seems to manage to make a 3 day delivery from a 2 day priority. Maybe it'll show up on Monday. I still need to get the K&N filter but wondering is it worth $65.00?

I just can't let things alone, and replaced it after only a short time with one of Chuckster's BAK's. Since then it's spent time riding around with me unused under the left side cover, until I got around to clearing everything out of there to make room for a small roll bag of tools. I'd only ask the cost of shipping once the package is away. PM me if interested.

For me it was worth it because I can clean it and reuse it. Does it add 20 HP?. Not at all, just flows slightly better than stock. I have just been on the fence about adding a big air kit. I read alot of threads regarding loud valve train noise, but that is mostly from people with stock exhausts. I am wondering if the V&H pipes will drown out any engine noise. I have the hyper charger on my 1500 classic and dont hear shit. That being said the 1700 is a diffrent animal.

I love the V&H slip ons. Really not a whole lot louder than stock unless you romp on it. I can hear the radio clear up to about 80mph. My 1500 is way louder. She goes to new home tomorrow though. I am selling her to my buddy. Its going to be weird riding next to my bike.

Now go for a short ride with the stock intake cover off. It will give you an idea of how much better the ride will be after a BAK install.

Nice. So just bought the 14 Vaquero SE, from what I'm hearing, it needs fuelling. What other must do mods should I do? I didn't want to do too much other than 10" apes to start. Now you guys have me convinced I should get a K&N and EJK? Thanks :)

The ejk works, simple install, simple setup. The k&n filter is another improvement. With the v&h slip on exhaust... Yep, love it. I used the settings on the ejk that Ken worked out, bike pulls hard and better mpg(thanks again Ken). One other thing I plan on doing is Ray's throttle mod. Every one speaks highly of it. So far I've been impressed with the vaquero, rides great. Hope it last many miles.
