That does look quite nice, does it stick out much? I'd have to have the black dye/oil rather than the red dye though.

That is very nice. Not sure if it's more suited to the Road King Classic though, I'll look into these
The SE round flow doesn’t stick out too bad. It makes a really cool sound when you get on the throttle, you can hear it gobbling in the air……it almost sounds like a muscle car intake. Unfortunately though, when I put the big bore in my bike that sound kinda faded away.

It might drown out the sound of my twin slash lol. I wonder why they don't do the ratchet cover for it in chrome?

I've just seen the wedge hi flow, does this expose the plugs too? Is there no way to relocate this?

It's the 20-lb headlight assembly on the Road King that tends to even things out LOL

OP, another thing you could consider to open up your AC options would be some floorboard extenders. It will move your legs out and open up some more room for a larger ac if you want. I put 1.25 inch spacers on my kahuna boards and it made such a nice difference.

Ahh yes, I forget the street glide only has the single headlight.

Thanks, I do plan on doing this anyway

And to correct my original post it is of course my lower leg that 'impedes' on the air cleaner not me knee
