WELL SCREW IT! I can't leave well enuff alone. was gonna just leave the new RamAir covered with the bear claw, but WHAT F'N FUN WOULD THAT BE!!!!! Cut & grind baby, cut & grind... I can't imagine it any other way!
I'm blaming it on @BigNorm

I think BigNorm is already responsible for a bear claw deficit at his local convenience stores

Is the air flow under the bear claw adequate. The top of that motor can get hot.

Yes. Four years and no issues - just lots of power!

Hey, that's what I get, perhaps 30 to 33. The crooked route is all right. I don't ride too hard any more but open it up some most every ride. It was your ride depict that got me fired up. Probably will upgrade to a set of sidewinders. I like that triple fan look. For now it is just doing one thing at a time kind'a thing and learning how to work on the bike. Next will be RamAir.

Once you get started , it ain't as daunting as it seems . Then get good break down cover and ride it like you stole it ! Grins all the way and the knowledge that if you encounter a problem , there will always be someone on this site that has encountered the same and solved it . That's loads more reassuring than having to ask at your local garage !

Just my humble take:
Exposing all that linkage bird-nest and filter increases cleaning chore and the "look" is not my preference.

Crank case breather is still stock. I taped up the hole that was left for now

Just a little curious - It looks great, but I am thinking about rain...what would happen riding in a rainstorm, wouldn't water get sucked in through the filters? Or am I being unmechanically inclined ignorant?

I'm a clean freak. OCD

I've read many posts from others here who say they've rode thru downpours with exposed k&n's and Ramair with no issues. And that's also without pre filters.
