Is there an aftermarket air filter element that will fit in my stock HD Air cleaner housing that will allow the bike to breath better? I'm am going to stay at 96" and already have a pc3 and different pipes. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance. 07 FLHTCU

 

I believe there is a Screamin Eagle filter that is made for the stock cover. Also K&N makes an upgraded filter. (at least I think they used to). You should be able to use the round SE or Big Sucker I (Arlen Ness) and keep the stock front of the cover (you'd lose that backing on the stocker, cuz they would have a new backing in place.

I know for the TC88 that was true, not 100% that holds true for the 96 inchers, but don't see why that would be that drastically different.

 

Thanks! I'll check the k&n site.

 

If you're trying to complete a Stgae 1 then you'll need to change the complete air system - not just the filter... Just installing a K&N on to the stock system is not the same...
You can go with:
Ness Big Sucker (more bang for the $$$)
SE Performancxe Air Kit
K&N Air Kit

I already have the k&n but recently removed it along with the pipes and pcIII for warranty work. The slipons and pcIII are simple but the ac is a pain.I'm running the stock ac now with the supertrapps and pcIIIand really don't notice a difference. I had the bike on a dyno to get the correct mapwith the K&N ac on. It's probably a tad rich now. I may take it over and have it put on the dyno again to compare numbers. I'll bet there is not much difference running the stock ac.

 

The Stage 1 Air kit allows better air flow and vents the heads better... You can always check to plugs to see if your running rich or lean... Cheaper then a Dyno again

 

Very good point! But, I still would like to see the numbers. I've heard from a few guys that unless you do a major build that you don't really need o change the ac. It would not be the first time that someone blew smoke up my butt to sell me something.
