LA choppers question 2 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I've always had and still do, have HK straights with a stock air-box, works great.

My question is do any of you with LA Chopper pipes have a stock air-box?

Changing to the LA pipes shouldn't cause any problems if your ok now with the HK's

Not running a stock box, but do have LA Chopper exhaust. If you are already running HK, changing the exhaust wont change anything, just sound for the most part.

My question, why would you want to change from the HK??

I would leave the HK, and change your box I am sure that motor needs more air!

Glad you asked jason, I am thinking of going to the stretched saddlebags from "baddad", and my present pipes configeration would not fit. check it out at, baddad.com.

thanks for replies guys.
