I just purchased my Bassani pipe, and I'm looking for a Stage 1 air cleaner. I would like to keep the factory air cleaner cover, I have a round air cleaner cover from a 2013 Street Bob, does anyone know what Stage 1 I can use to keep this set up?

 

Arlen Ness "Big Sucker"

 

S&S stealth air cleaner

 

Big sucker 1 will fit, not sucker 2.

 

I ran my stock cover on the Fuel Moto Pro Billet AC system I have, until I bought a new HD cover anyway.

 

I agree, this is a well made unit, looks good in the chrome version and eliminates the rubber breather tubes. Also look at what our sponsor, DK Customs has that may work for you. The factory football and most round air cleaner work on the Big Sucker

 

I actuallt like the stock cover cause it works good, especially in the pouring rain.
I use the K+N RK series air intake Part # 1010-0671
PRODUCT INFORMATION

• Complete intake assembly fits neatly behind the stock air cleaner cover
• Provide a significant increase in airflow, smoother delivery to engine, while boosting performance and filtration
• Feature a K&N High-Flow air filter, pleated design for high airflow, specially designed lip seal for perfect seal, powder-coated aluminum backplate that eliminates external breathers and a built-in, dyno-tuned velocity stack
• Maintain factory appearance, utilizes the stock air cleaner outer cover
• Made in the U.S.A.

Note: C.A.R.B. approved for 99-06 models.

I modified the stock cover to expose the K+N air filter more.
Just milled 7/16" off the inside portion all around and blackened it.

 

It will also work with the stage 1 screamin eagle intake as well.

 

I trimmed the cover way back on a ham cam just to expose the filter element. From the side it had the traditional styling que of the ham can but near the bike it looked 'fast'.

I trimmed it with a drill press. Really. Used a small cut-off wheel lowered to the depth I wanted. Then, with the cover flat and square on the drill table, I simply rotated the cover slowley. Makes for a clean, straight and uniform cut in about 3 minutes.

 

Hey checkers why would one want to eliminate the breather hose setup, do you have an alternate set up in mind?
