Air Cleaners for the Street Rod

Without seeing a pic of the filter you're referring to, all I'm seeing with that P/N search are filters that MIGHT work for the Street, but not the Street Rod.
XG750A owners are just going to have to be patient while the aftermarket catches up, myself included. That said, I do wish K&N would hurry up.
Meanwhile, I have no problems with the bike the way it is at the moment...

I won't mess too much with fueling and Air after my recent episode with the intake boot ripping, causing the CEL to go and the bike to be shuttled in for Warranty work...
Unfortunately the induction system is pretty fragile on this thing so, be advised and run it stock until HD makes something they can install and won't void the warranty.
Truth too is adding a K&N without messing with the fuel will just be a waste of cash... If your going to add more air through the breather side, think of increasing flow out the tail pipe side and having to add some fuel to enrich your air/fuel mixture... Tuning 101.

I have added a S&S grand National slip on and the Screaming Eagle Tuner. I am sure that the filters are the same. Im going to the MOCO at lunch to see.

I'm considering the same. Did you void warranty or have the Dealer install?
Please do tell!!! I love wheelies

I've been in mine, the outer breather case bolts on the top of the air filter...
The air filter is composed of a hard plastic that is a structural piece. So the plastic filter is the mounting point for the air box cover, it has 3 bolts securing it to the Mikuni TBs.

So far as voiding your warranty you need to read this article. No matter what some Stealership will tell you they can not void your warranty unless the part you added caused the issue that needs repaired.

On the advise of the service dept at the Dealership I came home and took off the cover of the SR. They told me that the filter is basically a K&N "design" and it sucks pretty good air right now. They said it wasn't anything like the 750 streets filter. I looked and it looks like a K&N but not Red.
I am going to remove the tubes inside of the filter housing that are only restricting the air. The grill is sandwiched between the tubes and the housing. With a little plastic weld I can remove the tubes. My tuner will run auto tune and adjust for the increased air. So don't try any of the above filters.
I will get some plastic weld this weekend and do the mods. I will take pictures.

Man When you say SR all I can think of is my buddies REAL SR:
Awesome bike BTW.
I couldn't remove those tubes... I'm pretty sure the next rain storm I would have some serious issues... I got stuck in a Nasty T-Storm last nigh on a ride and I was thinking if I removed the snorkels... Well They don't call them Snorkels for nuthin.
Interested to see how it turns out for you. Thanks for the info.
