Are you still on your stock twins, single, what?
Have you considered a vmount or maybe a stock mount?

No i have a fluidyne and it is fitted like stock right now and yes I have the 99 twins and looking forward to getting a front mount but I still have the stock bumper. Is Greddy a good front mount for stock bumper?

Blitz FMIC is one of the easiest and can be installed without removing the front bumper.

You have to cut about 2 inches of the bumper if you go with a greddy 2 row.

This supports the Apex fmic, no custom fabrication required. Period.

Only problem being that the Apexi FMIC is almost $2,000, WAY TO MUCH IMO.

The Apexi fits perfect behind the bumper but I did do custom modification for the radiator to slant it at 45^ angle. The Blitz kit allready mounts the radiator at an angle. I did not like my radiator being too low as per the Apexi instructions.

For the price the Greddy is the way to go. Both the BLitz and Apexi are overpriced, but very nice setups.

Blitz.

Battery size/location is the only problem IIRC...

The 3 row fits identical to the 2 row but is an inch thicker in the rear. The radiator is mounted vertical behind the intercooler.

It does not require you to cut the bumper.

So you cut the same amount of the bumper as the 2 row?

You dont have to do a new bumper, but a larger opening will always help.

blitz fmic is a great unit. i looked for a long time between fmic and smic. i found that the blitz is the best all around. it was pretty simple to install ( no need to remove or cut bumper ), gives much better flow to the radiator than most all fmic's ( which is VERY important ). the only drawback is the battery, i used a miata battery which fit perfect.
