Has anybody used this Air Filter? 4 Years, 9 Months ago  
If so how did it run? I rejetted mine and it runs great with a K&N filter and ported intake. I get 50MPH also. I don't want to screw that up, but looking for a better look. What do you guys think?

A government big enough to give you everything you want, is a government big enough to take away everything that you have.
