Unfortunately you are correct, and I don't see a regular filter option for it.

For something that your leg won't touch your only option might be the heavy breather kind.
I have been considering the Ventilator for my Sport Glide (currently have the stock air cleaner). I was also hoping to get a little more Right Knee leg room. What is your inseam? I have a 31" inseam myself. I'd like to know what kind of difference to expect.

I have 32" inseam.
Check out the picture of the AC, as you see it is not thicker than the header pipe below it.

Thanks for the reference image. Looks like an upgrade I'll likely consider.

FYI and FWIW. When I purchased the "Screamin’ Eagle Ventilator Air Cleaner Kit – Milwaukee-Eight Engine" as shown in the link above, it did not come with a K&N filter. It was a white filter and even if it was manufactured by K&N, and was not washable. I actually replaced mine with a pink K&N branded filter that is washable.

Directly from H-D online store. The pic shows a pink filter, assumed to be a K&N, but that is not what you get.
