I have seen those air filters attached directly to the carbs and it looks neat and cheap. I think they detract from the classy looking stacks though. JMHO

I have the chrome velocity stacks on my 98 standard and i'm constantly asked by non valk riders about the open air intakes. Most of the time i humor them and just say "I don't ride in the rain"............... This is a little off topic, but 2 years ago when I first was attracted to the Phat Gurls, I look at buying a base Valk from a local used car dealer. It had those velocity stacks on it and I stayed away from it because I do ride in the rain and didn't know they were for looks! But that being said, I was still smittened by the Phat Gurls looks!

Has anybody mounted those little filters directly to their stock carb covers for looks only? If so, do you have a pic you can post?

I assume you mounted them with the 3M double sided adhesive? Do they stay on good? |

If I'm going to clean mine I make sure I follow with a wax, polish, something that keeps the critters from sticking like they are covered with super glue. They do clean off much easier.

How the hell do you people keep the fronts of your girls so nice looking? Seems like as soon as I clean her up, more bugs get attracted directly to every forward facing surface...  If I go on a long ride and get a lot of bugs, I clean them off within a day or so, and it is easier to keep them off. If the chrome is well polished they don't stick as bad, and I just use the Honda brand spray polish to wipe them off. Just takes a few minutes if you don't let weeks and weeks of bugs build up.  |
