With the filters off kind like a whoosh of air going sucking in (no grunt) but you hear it.

Filters on- it will sound like and angry dog barking, one of those deep tone ones if that makes sense. I stumble on a video a long time ago and the sound was to die for lol


Thanks for all the comments guys!!

Sooooooo cleaannnnn:

Can anyone tell me how to bleed my clutch with this:



I have the remote bleeder and just could get it to pull the fluid as easy as it should.

I'm sorry for the bad pics, iPhone's don't do well in low lit conditions. This is much faster than me using my DSLR.

As you can see I have a functional vented hood. One thing I hadn't said yet was that I am wrapping both long tubes to cut down on the temps as well! It shouldn't be too bad
