i have the hi-flow air filter set-up.......it has the small backing plate already.....i have heard that you can go to harley and buy this backing plate pretty cheap....then you just go and get a k&n filter where ever you want....check that out and let all of us know for sure.....
ORIGINAL: Denbo

Duece dude even though you have the large cover on the front you do have a smaller back plate am I correct in assuming that.I would like to make mine smaller also for all of the same reasons as every one else but looking for the cheapest way out.

I've had the round cleaner insert on my bike for a while now. I guess I didnt realize that it wasnt common knowledge that you could ditch the football and go with just the round insert on the SE filter or a K&N filter.

I guess sometimes we just dont realize about something that we ( I in this case) think as simple or common knowledge really isnt. Thats the great think about forums like this one any kind of question or problem or modification that you can think of someone else has done or corrected and they can help you out here. Thats why I love this forum.

i'm sure someone has seen this done but i just figured it out.....took my plate off my football shaped cover and just stuck it on the end of my hi-flo filter.....looks really cool that way!! i'll get a better pic later if anyones interested.......


I did mine after work tonight. I was wondering what youuse to cover the black rubber tubes that run into the inside of the filter. The black rubber takes away from the looks some in my opinion. Tell us what you used & how to attach it.

Thanks in advance for the info.

Ride Safe,

Mike
