WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL...........
Not sure if you would call it problems or not but it took some work, bending the metal braces that came with it, to make it fit. But you can see that it fits pretty good. There is about 3/4'' between the pipes and the scoop,which I think will work, if I put on some heat tiles. I forgot to order them with the scoop, but I need to. I might try a local auto parts store first. I havent painted the new parts yet because I'am going to repaint the hole bike when I finish with all the work on her. The front fender was a bugger too, you see I have a 110 Avon tire on front, lots more rubber than the 90 that came on the bike, so the fender rubbed against the tire if you just bolted it on. So I had to make some brackets for that, to raise the front fender. You can see that I havent put the front brakes back on yet, thats because I want to drill out my rotors first. Not looking foreward to that job. The fairing brackets needed some work too. I did'nt even use the ones that bolt to the handlebars,(to UGLY) besides I did'nt have enought room on the drag bars. Had to cut out for the front blinkers. As I take off each piece,( front fender, air scoop, an fairing) I will take some pictures of the brackets on each thing and post them, for anybody who might want to use these parts. Oh yea, the pipes are Mac 4 n-to 1.

I am also curious as to which exhaust you have on your bike and if they were any problems with clearances on the front air scoop.
