I am referring to the element. Some look black and mine is red(more purplish) and I would like to have the small cover over the air cleaner rather than a ham can.

Exactly! This looks great, but if I had the same cover mine would look Red(purplish to my eyes). Did you use a black oil? If not tell me where to purchase that element.
Not crazy,

Thanks for the replies, I will try the black oil and see if that cancels out the red(purplish). Still find it hard to imagine people don't know what i am talking about. Maybe they are on crack! WTF!? I know that is why so many peeps take pics with rain socks on!

I did not have a good experience with this oil. It is much thiner that the K&N RED oil.

You're right, looks more pink. Sorry, can't call that red. There must be a reason for trying to change the color! Maybe I ain't the only crazy one!!!

I found that the color (red, purple, pink, blue) only lasts a few days and they turn dark and look gray or black.

This is what the red oiled filter looks like when the color fades. (my old 05 Super Glide)
