Barons BAK or Speedstar 10 Months, 4 Weeks ago  
Just what is the difference in the BAK and the Speedstar filter?.. other than a hundred bucks? I was gonna go with the Speedstar, but should I go with Barons for some reason?

Near as I can tell it only comes with the chrome cover and the K&N filer. No jets, needle or any thing else if you want the billet back plate you have to buy it for $170 and the cover and filter is $183. In my book the BAK is a better buy. Just my 2 cents!The BAK comes with the jets needle and cone and billet back plate everything you need.

There's the reason for the price difference. With the BAK you get the entire air kit. Back plate, filter, and front plate. You get (from memory here) a 175,172.5,170, and 167.5, Mik main jets. A 6 groove Barons needle. Extra clips and washers. 4 Allen head float bowl screws. And a drill bit and screw to take the PMS plug out. Everything you need.

Oh yeah. You also get the cone doodad that your supposed to stick to the inside of the BAK. It reminded me of that tornado Jobby that you drop into car carbs and it's supposed to magically go up to 500 miles a gallon. To be fair I never used mine so I don't know if it makes a difference in performance or not.

The speedstar back plate is metal and moves it closer to the bike as compared to the plastic stock backplate....Coug
