Rsd air cleaner or kuryakyn
I really like the look of pm super gas the rsd air cleaner and the kuryakyn mach 2 but i have seen some say that they stick out pretty far. Can anyone with either let me no if this is true. Also is the rsd or pm super gas a much better product than the kuryakyn? Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks...also will the pm super gas cover interchange with the rsd product??

I avhe the Pm Merc on my Dyna and it sticks fout pretty far. When i avhe my right foot on the highway peg my leg is resting against the cover of the air cleaner. I'm 5'9". As far as quality, PM's (RSD is by PM) quality is far superior to that of Kuryakyn in my opinion as it is made right here in the good old USA.

I have the Kuryakyn Mach 5, it does stick out, doesnt affect my foot position on the peg, but does affect my foot position on the brake.
I personally like the looks of the RSD better, but I am not willing to spend that much money. Dont know about the quality

Thanks Robbie!
Here's an option that is low profile and will outperform most other A/C's...just a matter of if you like any of the looks.

I have the RSD air cleaner. I am 5'8" tall. I really like the air cleaner but it does hit the inside of my knee and it is annoying. But I still like the look of the cleaner...

I did a lot of messing about finding the air cleaner with the best leg room (tried 6 different ones!) and it turns out its the S&S teardrop. It's backing plate is recessed and this moves the whole A/C back an inch, plus the cover aint too thick.
Just in case that's an issue for you too.

Love my RSD filter but I am short (5'-5.5") LOL So my leg actually tends to go under it with the forward controls. Love the look and quality!

As you know almost all High performance air cleaners are going to stick out a bit further from the bike.
How much further the air cleaners stick out will really depend on which bike you are installing it on. However, with that said the Mach 2 has a width of aprox. 3-5/8"(total from Carb or TB opening). I know that the RSD and PM air cleaners use a filter that is very similar in dimensions (although the housing may be smaller or larger). Hopefully that dimension will be helpful.
