S&S Baby! <br />First bike without S&S carb, at least it looks good 👍
Awesome
Looks and performs awesome.
Don't by this for 22 FXST
I'm sorry to say this item has some problems. The screw holes in the cover are different spacing than the threaded posts on the fixture that attaches to the throttle body. A 1/4" difference, and there's no way the cover will fit. 2022 FXST. So now we'll see how the return/refund process works. I'll let Y'all know. For now, the 1 star is for the disappointment in an American made product, and what it cost me.
Great product, easy to installl, Looks great and performs amazing!
The S&S lava stealth air cleaner looks awesome!<br />It’s on a 2022 black on black road glide Limited.<br /> I feel it blends so well with the bike that alot of people don’t even notice it.<br />I paired it with an S&S intake manifold and a S&S465c cam, two into one header. Couldn’t be more pleased! Runs like a son of a gun.
Great breather
Looks amazing and helps the bike breathe a lot better, especially with their after market exhaust.
