Hey guys,
     I found these at cb and the price is cheaper then having mine painted at a shop. Anyone using one or know anything about them?
     They are advertised as OEM and "low Profile". They use the same doghouse cooler and and adapter.
     Thanks! Wink

Tim,
     It actually looks to be a bit wider then the stock doghouse shroud.
     My problem is it's actually cheaper to buy new stuff then have the old stuff painted.............lol.
     I guess I need to get after it and either stop complaining or do the bodywork/paint myself!
     I suppose it would be good for me to learn anyway!

Thanks

Many people including myself have used the fresh air version of that shroud for 100,000+ miles. Quality and fit isn't bad, and with minimal tweaking most of the german spec stuff fits just fine.

Damn near a bolt on, and it is as wide as an normal doghouse but quite a bit shorter.

Thanks you guys! I like it! Anything to free up some room back there is a plus too.
     I think I will order one tonight.
