I will experiment. If its a no-go, back to ebay it will go. Thanks for the heads-up, though.

Another possible advantage of that touring air cleaner is that you can install a small catch bottle inside the air cleaner housing to capture the mung from the crankcase breathers.

Details in the M8 forum section - https://www.hdforums.com/forum/milwa...our-m8-12.html - many examples, but post #119 has a cheap homebrewed solution.

Installed the new air cleaner last night.


When I removed my old air cleaner, it was full of dog food (you can see all the dog food on the floor).

Looks good bro, I like the touring setup, keeping mine for when I'm in the mood.
Did you get creative to fit it? Were you using your old air cleaner can as a dog food scoop?

To fit the Sport Glide, I cut away the bottom of the plastic box.
