The Harley stage 1 kit has a white synthetic meida that requires NO OIL. That is why it is not red. It is washable and it needs to be cleaned BAD.

Got ya, I thought it looked like my stock backing plate and filter. Just wanted to clarify how it was identified. Thanks

Aaron, here's some good info on stage 1 for carb setups. Not sure if you seen it before but thought it might help you out with some good info.

Stage 1. Once an air filter gets some miles on it it will get dirty and will not turn red again until you clean and oil it. The stock a/f is a different shape and it is paper. That is a K&N filter.

It says do not oil on it and is stamped with the HD emblem....I'm guessing I can just wash it with water?
