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!

 

I'm on an Arlen Ness Big Sucker. I know you said you like the stock cover but it was too big for me. I wanted to see more of the engine.

 

The OUTLAW HiFlow 587 will work perfectly with your existing cover. It is a great low-profile Stage 1 Air Cleaner.

Give a call during the week and let them know you want just the air cleaner, no cover.

 

What's wrong with the Screaming Eagle stage 1 air cleaner?

Lupus I like the smaller type like you have to see more motor too. Is this the kit you have? What about a cover?

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.

 

Thanks for the input fellas.

 

Yep. That's it. The cover is a Ness also. Came as one set. Here's a link

Looks like th part number is 262019 if I'm reading it right.

 

My bike as a SE stage 1 on it from the previous owner. If I change out the air cleaner do I need to have anything done to the bike? It's a carb.

 

First time ive seen a brass mesh filter used for that. Nice idea. Gots me thinking now.
