    VBak and Relocation Plate installed

    I bought Churchkey's V-BAK.  I installed this evening.  I took off 5 lbs of smog, crappy stock air boxes and brackets.  I also installed the relocation plate which virtually cleaned up the front of the bike.  You can actually see the front and the right side of the motor.
    I need you to cut me out a nice design where it hides some of the sensors on the side.  I will try to buy one first.
    The VBAK woke the beast up.  It sounds very throaty and pulls much harder.

    Very nice.  I really need to do this.  Please, someone tell me it's ok to spend the money!

     Highly recommended! I wasn't a believer until I installed mine. Worth every penny.

     It's taken me two years to get around to installing my relocation plate, and it's a royal pain diddling with everything and so on, but when I look under the fram rails and see the shiny rocker boxes, I just have to smile like the proverbial village idiot! It's definitely worth the wait. Now I can hide the ballasts for the HID system a little better!

    Will it be a empty space on the side of the motor where the original airbox was if I install a vbak?

    I want to know if there is any way to make the bike look as if its stock by keeping the external airbox and such. Will this void my warranty and I also want to know which is better the churchkey or patrick racing bak?

    Re: VBak and Relocation Plate installed

    I am not sure about voiding the warranty.  My bike is three years old.  I took off the old stock air box, but you need a plate to cover up some of the visible sensors.  Some guys make their own or by a baron tear drop cover.  I bought a chrome sicle off ebay that has warrior water jetted on it.  I like churchkeys.  i have nothing to compare it to, but all i hear is good things about it.

    Is it possible to only do the V-Bak, AIS plate and keep the stock exhaust?  Will it still wake the beast, or just make him constipated?  Seriously, will ther be a marked improvment with this and the PCIII?
