Best Air Intake for My Bike?

By Dennis Santopietro

How do I select the best performance air intake for my bike?
  Our Friends over at Wimmer Custom Cycles  had this to Say: All of our intakes will offer superior performance over stock. The look and style of the intake is more of a preference issue. However some intake systems offer more performance than others. As a rule of thumb, velocity stacks will bring in more air, but are a little harder to tune to run the entire RPM range. Most filter style intakes offer a broader range of smooth running. We at Wimmer can recommend an intake based on what your main objective is. More FAQ from Wimmer on custom air intakes & oil coolers.

    I was told the more (cold) air the better. It'll never be too much air so it basically come down to preference. I hope this helps.

    G'Day ! . . . . I have a 2012 Heritage softy, 103ci, fuel injected, with a breather kit supplied when I bought it at H.H. It has a high flow Air filter, Vance &amp; Hines Slip ons, &amp; a jet kit, to suit, - I also have a "ThunderMax" Auto Tuner, to go on it, An "Oil Bud" Oil Cooler, - What sort of Air inlet would You advise me to use, &amp; How Would a "HyperCharger" Air cleaner go, on this Set-Up, Also What Cams, would You recommend, to improve performance, Fuel Economy, &amp; to lower idle speed, for a better sound ?
