Scored a brand new Indian Thunderstroke High Flow Air Cleaner for $350 on Ebay last week. It arrived today, the Ebay listing said it was missing a hose, but it's in the box! Winning! Waiting on Payday to order by Power Vision CX from FuelMoto!
How about the Fuel Moto map? Did you get that installed? Easy?I did install it myself. It took @2 hours, but I was really taking my time. Install is pretty straight forward.
Both stage 1 intakes have a duct that redirects air to the rear head. I've been out of town and haven't had a chance to drive it much yet to see if heat is improved. But I agree... everyone has their own style and own motivations. I will never be able to tell if I got 4 more HP or 4 less. I added the intake mostly for aesthetics and to accommodate cams in the future. Again.. for me... the cams will be more about the sound and feel than a few more notches on a dyno result.To each his own gentlemen. IMHO I just prefer if i intend to spend money on upgrades I want to actually get the most improvement from that upgrade. Big air cleaners should actually bring in big air into the intake to improve performance not just look good. This upgrade is just 1 part of the upgrades that are currently being done today. The other upgrades are freedom true dual headers with 4.5 freedom outlaw pipes, stage 2 cams and next a Fuel Moto pvcx controller. An added benefit of this air cleaner is supposedly it not only forces air into the intake it also directs air into the rear head so hopefully it will help cool the engine a little too. (heat kills engines) My bike already gets compliments (because it looks bad ass already) every time i take it out for a ride. With these upgrades it should be a screaming monster.
Send video's of the wheelies it'll pull with those upgrades.To each his own gentlemen.

Have you noticed that the left side gets much hotter with the new air cleaner. I really notice the heat on that side now.
Who actually knows, but it is growing on me even though it does seem to stick out a little more than the stock air cleaner. It does give a certain look to the bike that i like though. I am getting ready to go riding tonight and i will let you guys know. Does anyone know how to do a video on here? Cuz i will let everyone know how my bike now sounds. The loping sound of the cams is different than i had expected, probably due to the 4.5 outlaw pipes as opposed to shark fins.Send video's of the wheelies it'll pull with those upgrades.
4 extra HP huh? With that air cleaner...........

Do those inlets at the front feed the air cleaner or just shunt air back to the rear cylinder?View attachment 216073 more shots of mine in chrome
Thank you and please posts pics when you get that done.Nice ride there medic. Those wheelies are pretty bad ass, I've tried to get my RM up and fortunately without success. I've got the new AC and a set of TAB BAM sticks at home waiting on me to install. Maybe this weekend
Glad to, I will probably ride it to the station tomorrow, if i get a chance i will take several so we get a better idea.Can you post a close-up pic between the AC and the tank? That's where the stock frame feed is to the bedpan AC. The original stage 1 AC caps this since there's no cover to the filter and no need for this feed. I'm curious what this sort of hybrid has.
