There are several companies that offer these, Bella Course, New Bonneville, British Customs and Jenks (not yet available and high dollar).

Can anyone offer any thoughts on which is best, easiest to install, etc.? I did see the BIR video on the install of one kit and it seems to have some fit problems.

Any input or guidance is appreciated.

Thanks

Kendall

its relatively easy to modify the airbox to fit the pod filters on, and keep the sides to keep all the electrics in place.
I would say that any one who would consider installing a kit themself could do it themself without the kit. There are step by step instructions on how to do it, with pics, if you do a search

I got everything from Sean at British Customs. He is a standup guy! You will not waste one penny at BC. I got the BC Performance Package with Predators, Nology coil and wires, Iridium plugs, center stand and Tach kit. I had the dealer put it all on and rejet her as soon as she was uncrated. In retrospect I'm glad I didn't wait!

Bent up my own battery box from sheetmetal sourced from home depot. Need a few tools the average Joe may not have in the shed but even if you bought everything required it would not add up to the kit prices. Plus you get the I did it myself feeling if your into that.

Don't want to take anything away from the folks selling the kits though, makes it quick and easy plus they provide a service we all appreciate.

Hacking your airbox, yet another valid way to skin that cat. Embrace diversity I guess.

you seem like you've been on a bike before.
why would you do it in shorts, and have a small passenger in shorts as well?
