Different air filter
I recently bought an 86 FXST, with an S&S carb. I am short, 5' 7" and the air filter hits me just below the knee, causing me to ride with my leg in an uncomfortable position. Any ideas on a different air filter, or am I just an old Wuss?
Thanks for any input.

Can't help you on the air cleaner. I'm running a K&N under the stock cover on my 86 FXSTC.
Have you thought about a slightly longer rider peg? Might allow you to ride without hitting the air cleaner.
I ran the inch longer Harley pegs before putting Kuryakyn pegs on.
I'm 5'8".
