The Price Is Wrong, Bob!
In our ’08 HOT BIKE Buyer’s Guide we mistakenly ran the wrong price for the Ness Big Sucker Air Cleaner Kit, the price starts at $124.95 (www.arlenness.com). The same thing happened with Howard’s Hog Horns; they have horns for Softail models that retail for $150 (www.howardshorns.com).
