Does anyone have recommendations on this product? Or any other air box?

the t.v. works well, better than the standard hypercharger some reckon.

the only thing to take into account is that it sticks out a fair bit more than the standard airbox, so if you´re under 6 ft tall you´ll find it a bit intrusive.

by all accounts, the barons B.A.K. fits quite close to the engine, and works as well if not better than the T.V.

Re:Kuryakyn Twin Velocity plus 5 Years, 7 Months ago  
i have had the t.v. for two years now. i like the look of it. jetting was pretty simple, but it is quite hard to get to the screw in the bottom of the carb unless you take off the unit. i am 5'9" and my knee always rests against the intake. it is not uncomfortable but i can tell my leg sticks out just a bit further than the other.

Have TV (not the plus) on my 04 R*, seems to work well, especially when you keep the filter clean (as I recently learned). I am 6'3" and have no problem with the clearance. A friend who is about 5' 6" took it for a spin thought it stuck out a bit far and decided to looks at the Barons rig.

i had a client who was vertically challenged (5 ft 6) who wanted a T.V. on his roadie, which i fitted. for me (6ft 5) no problem, but he found it really uncomfortable, making him bend his leg at an akward angle.

he bought a hypercharger instead,

Mind telling me your final jet settings, hartick? Just curious to see what works for others using this breather.

Thanks,
Steve
