What is the "BEST" oversize right side air scoop?

[vtech007]

Here are some over all "zoomed out" pics of the bike with the carbon fiber air scoops installed:

I want to thank everyone who offered their help and support in replying to this thread. You truly helped me in making my decision on which air scoop to go with. You guys are awesome! Thanks again!

Nice bike. Is that a fram I see.

What kind of mirrors are those? Did they just bolt on or did you have to do some mods. Thanks ozzie

Yes. I know there are those with other opinions for reasons they have explained and I understand, but I don't have a problem with the quality of Fram. I have other reasons. Fram was under the same parent company of the company I used to work for. Fram is a major sponsor of the NHRA drag racing tour. The contrasting orange color looks interesting peering from under the chin fairing. I will likely use a genuine Buell filter next oil change (which is black and will blend in under there), but I will not hesitate using a Fram again in the future (wonder where they're made?). I have seen pics of other really nice Buells with Fram filters so I know I am not the only one.

Scoops look good ,BUT are they avalible in fiberglass with a gel coat? Not everyone wants Carbon and Im sure as hell not paying for carbon just to paint it.

 

[vtech007]

The fiberglas ones I've seen actually cost more than my CF scoops.

 

[freak2180]

I was curious if YOUR supplier had any plans to produce a glass part. You obviously are the best price on carbon.....which would lead me to beleave you could sell the Glass parts at a cost lower than anyone else also. Dont get me wrong with the price on ur carbon parts.....its really good, but like I said before......Why pay for carbon to paint if Glass is a option. Till then I think I will look at a stock 2010 mini scoop.

 

[vtech007]

The supplier deals with carbon fiber only. Sorry.

Here is a scoop in glass:

Am I missing something, or has MDI removed the scoops from their website? I've searched under all the XB9/XB12 sections...

Vtech, those look gorgeous, and thanks for the tip on mounting!!

 

[Frozone]

Nevermind. I was clicking on the 2005-2009 section... just needed to click the xb9/xb12.

My scoop and "........

 

[allday9696]

Just got mine from LSHD. Matches pretty good. I'm happy and it was only $50 shipped.

 

[vtech007]

I have to report - I live in a hot climate anyway, and it has been a hot summer, but since I installed my CF symetric right side air scoop (and matching left scoop) my fans have not turned on narry a time all summer. Even in the cooler months they used to turn on almost every ride. I am very happy with this mod.

I'm sorry for bringing back an old thread, but wanted to know if there is anything out there that match's the stock piece better than the ASB version?

I've got the ASB fiberglass version and it's material is much thinner and although I've painted and polished it, it still doesn't have the nice heavy feeling/look of the stock left side piece. Any help or experience would be appreciated!

Yes get the one from the dealer its actually cheaper than aftermarket.

 

[djs2k2]

Sorry its the uly comfort kit and it will fit perfect.
