INSTALLATION: This does come with a jet kit from Kury - however - you're on your own with the install. No instructions. Also, it does NOT come with new adjustable needles. I spent a lot of time calling around to see if they were 'missing' from the shipment. According to CC&Kury it's not needed. EVERYONE says adjustable needles. But -I'm going with the manufacturer on this one. The instructions were really lacking. And it feels like a couple of steps are out of order. FIT: Being only 5'3 it's uncomfortable for my leg. Feels very much in the way - even with only putting 1 of 2 spacers in. (which I am totally taking out!) My biggest problem is not being able to place my foot completely on the brake. (Think I'll need that, right?!) I'm already looking for a brake extender to fit the 650. I know Kury makes one for HD. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

Sticks out about the same distance as the Hypercharger. Got the bike re-jetted using the included jet kit, and wifey says it's like riding an entirely new and different Bike. We put V & H Cruzers on last year which increased the power, but this air kit realy completes the upgrade. She is so excited, I can't hardy contain her.

I am very short and have'nt had any trouble with how it feels. I think it adds alot of bling to that side of my bike... Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 10/26/07 by Jason Robbs (jsrobbs) from Ashtonfield, , Asia, for a 2007 650 V-Star Classic wrote: Air Cleaner was an easy install. I have matched it with Hard Krome American Classic Pipes. Togeather they have improved the performance of the bike especially in the mid range. The cosmetic look of the cleaner with the v-twin engine is great, and I have recieved many positive remarks about it. The only problem I had with the cleaner was once I had it and my new pipes installed together the bike would not drive. It would idle only. The fuel air mix was way out. So if you install this with new pipes at the same time make sure you are close to someone who can re jet the carbs. Once I had my carbs re jetted by a yamaha mechanic it runs like a dream. Glad I bought this item. Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 07/12/06 by Joey Neel (TripGruv) from Richmond, VA, United States, for a '06 650 V-Star Classic wrote: Installation is really simple. However, I had the re-jetting done by my mechanic. I have it matched up with the Roadhouse 65 Specials exhaust. I can definitely feel more kick to the bike....both on the low and high end (more so on the high end). I love the look of the Twin Velocity...they're not as common as the Hypercharger. I highly recommend! Review Details  5 out of 5 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
