If I was to buy just the K&N high flow air filter--would I have to have a different backing plate or can i use the stock backing plate
and still get air flow that would equil the se/ac set-up? Thanks for any info on this!
Thanks for the quick responses as I could save some green if I was to be able to buy k&n high flow filter only.
I just want to make sure I am getting a true stage 1 air flow to the engine on my dyna superglide.
IMHO the Big Sucker is the way to go. it comes with a K&N and the backing plate is of better design which helps to prevent the oil misting problem found on my harleys. the breather system is built into the backing plate unlike the stock HD or SE where rubber or plastic tubes areusedin the breather system. Plus you can get the backing plate in chrome!!

Like yer Fxwg.
But who can see the chrome backing plate on the bike with the air breather on ?. I've had the Se for about a year. It does pretty good for walking in the store and picking it up.
Got to looking at the kits that are offered and yes it looks like the stock backing plate must not be used.
I know what I got to do now--thanksfor the help guys!
You can use a K&N filter with the original Harley backing plate but you won't see any significant increase in air flow. There's only that little opening up front.
