RE: air cleaner question
I'm sorry to say this but I think at least your going to need a stage 1 upgrade...buy getting the download and the stage 1 air cleaner you can use any evo style round cover or you can do what I did and just run a center ring leaving the filter element exposed...

RE: air cleaner question
Are you saying you just want to take the football cover off and run an open element (air filter). If so, sure...you can do it without mapping/tuning, etc. I took mine off and had no problem at all. Only thing I noticed was a little bit more valvetrain noise...because the football cover wasn't muffling that noise.
Not sure if this is what you're asking...but if it is, I did it...the dealer said it shouldn't make any difference...and a number of folks here said it shouldn't make a difference when I wanted to do it. That was all I needed to hear.

RE: air cleaner question

RE: air cleaner question
I I have the SE air cleaner kit. I took off the football, and put on this one. It came off my '97 Wide Glide. I added translucent powedercoat over the chrome, and added the trim ring. For better air flow, I drilled some large holes on the bottom. I don't know if the holes made any differance or not, but it made me feel better. HD Forum Stories

RE: air cleaner question
I hated the old air cleaner covers on the last of the Shovelheads and the first of the EVO's. They sucked then and were just ugly. One hardly ever sees a bike with one of those anymore.
The twin Cam air cleaners are not my favorite either. However, they are still 100% better than those I just mentioned above. I think they look just a little too large for the engine compared to the round ones found on the EVO.

RE: air cleaner question
i put the screaming eagle aircleaner on last night. put a round evo cover on. i alsoinstalled the pcIII race tuner with the correct map on it at the smae time. everything i've been told says this is what you should do on a anf EFI bike. in your case, if you are running slip-ons, just put the aircleaner kit on and ride it to you closest dealer for the download. a couple miles won't kill your bike and it will save you money versus havig the stealer do it. I ran the pipes alone for about 150 miles, but upgraded the rest of it last night.
i hated the football too. way too big for the bike i had an evo before and just like the traditionalround aircleaner. i used a wrinkle black powder coated one from and evo night train.
