DK air cleaner problem?
Seems the plate that holds the element on my new Bobber styleDK air cleaner has three holes that are used to bolt it to the backing plate.
Any reason these holes are drilled off set to the bore of the intake?
Anybody?

It's easy, the plate that the filter is mounted to has 4 holes drilled in it, one is centered and the outer cover attaches to it, then there are three holes drilled to attached the filter plate to the backing plate already attached to the bike.
These three holes are not drilled where they shold be, they are off centered and the holes do not line up to attach it to the backing plate.
No offense but they're drill off center enough you can see this just by looking at them.
Unless I missed something, somebody wasn't paying attention at HD or where ever they are made.

Al,
We sell two different style air cleaners.
The Outlaw HiFlow 587 and the Pro Billet.
You did not say which you are asking about. It seems like it may be the Pro Billet.
If that is the case, the holes in the filter element plate are supposed to be staggered/"off centered". The standoffs coming out of the backplate are staggered also.
There are two ways it won't fit, and one way it will. Rotate the filter until all three line up.
If you still have questions, you can email, including a picture if you want, and your number...even though no one will be back in the shop until Monday, we can get a call to you this weekend to help you out.

Soory I see where it'd be confusing, holes are off set as they should be but the hole pattern on the backing plate is not the same as the air filter plate.
Filter plate holes are 3" center to center, backing plate is 2 1/4 and 2 1/2-2 1/2"

Are you using only the parts that came in the system?
What year and model bike you are installing it on?
If you can include a picture that would be great.

I get the air cleaner straightened out, I can then deal with the auto tune and it's wanting to be hooked up to the diagnostic port of the bike and the only thing I see that's close to that has different connectors.
Then the pipes, tank, and Trutrack.
I'm betting your out before I am.
Has not been as enjoyable as it could have been, even this being my first HD motor I've played with in 25 years.
