Default Which Air Cleaner?

Hey Guys, Just wanted some input on which air cleaner I should go with. I'm running an S&S E Type with the standard SS cover. The cover is pitted and instead of replacing it I was looking at a few alternatives. I've narrowed it down to the D&M Spear, the Forcewinder or the Kuryakyn Hypercharger. Just looking for a few pros and cons. Thanks for the input.

Rollie

I'm a k&n man myself, but that spear is pretty cool, I vote for that.

I just installed this.






I painted the screen black, and put the HD chrome/ gold flames insert on it.

Picked up some HP with the Forcewinder and a 2 into 1 Hooker pipe. For the most part, posts on here and word on the street is that the Hypercharger is mostly hype and not much charge as well as a lovely rain catcher when the butterflies open as the throttle is cracked.

I just bought the D&M spear a/c for my 06 FXST. I willl be installing it tomorrow. It comes with the K&N filter. I will let you know how it goes[sm=biker.gif] It will match with all the spiked accessories I have on the bike now. All I need now is a camera to take pics.

Everything I read led me to the Big Sucker. If you are only stage 1 any regular sized cover will fit it.
