Any of you guys running the Arlen Ness inverted air cleaner? If so, what are your thoughts. Synthetic filter material, never needs oil or a rain sock, just clean it let it dry and reuse or so the guy at Arlen Ness says. I think I will replace my HD high flow with this just wanted to see if any of you guys are or have ran it.

 

And not necessary us sock for rain? Is it hi flow air cleaner ?

 

It's an open AC with a synthetic filter, has a wire mesh over the filter element. I'm really leaning towards it mainly to match my Ness boards, shift/brake pedals and grips. Not sure if it will flow better than my HD high flow or not.

 

Anybody running one of these. How do they compare to the Big Sucker as far as performance?

 

I ended up going with this Arlen Ness, it does not have the synthetic filter like the inverted series but I liked the look better. Performs fine but I do get a little more noise out of it compared with the SE high flow.

 

Never needed a rain sock, have ridden through some biblical rain.

 

You running the Ness inverted with synthetic filter?

 

Not now, but I've run nearly identical PM round open ACs on several past bikes, no issues in the rain.

 

I like the looks of this one too. This winter I'm going to be the RS 468 cam and Fullsac 2" cores. Someone (Stonecold?) posted a dyno chart using this combo with the Arlen Ness Big Sucker. I prefer the looks of the inverted and was wondering if the performance was similiar.

 

I dont know much about it but it sure looks good in the pic above!
