I am curious as to what stage 1 air cleaners you slim owners are using. I love the factory cover so I do not want to do a whole new air cleaner setup. I just want to upgrade the guts. Brand/Part numbers would be appreciated as well as any info. Thanks!
What's wrong with the Screaming Eagle stage 1 air cleaner?

It routes hot oily air into your intake which reduces performance AND engine longevity.
Also, how many posts do we read about people who complain that they have not changed anything on their bike but it has started pinging?
One of the reasons is because when you route the hot oily air back into the intake it builds carbon deposits on the piston, increasing compression and then the engine starts pinging because it was not tuned for the increase compression.
