I got the Ness Big Sucker in wrinkle black. Very simple and clean also.


I got the stainless filter too.

Maybe you'd like something a little sportier? They're only 80 buck on eBay. What a deal!!!

One of the neatest ones I have came across yet was the Ness Big sucker that is adapted to use derby covers. That really opens up the opportunity to customize your cover.

Arlen Ness has some new stuff out, but they're expensive as sin.

Be different, just tape a length of cheesecloth or something over your intake and run no filter at all :-D

Strange and different. I would like to see one on a bike before I could really make a decision on if its stupid looking or not.

I always recommend the A. N. Big Sucker. Best designed backing plate on the market. Simple and highly functional.

I put a Kuryakyn on mine. Wanted to go with Roland Sands but Kuryakyn has similar air cleaners at about half the cost.


Come in black too

Here's my ride w/their stuff. Matching covers all the way around, even on the horn cover now.
That is with the A/N Big Sucka 1 and the A/N horn cover too.

I wouldn't run a sportster lookin' bath tub cover.

I like the AN big suckers and I really like how that particular one gives you the ability to chose any derby cover you want as a cover.

They have a nice variety of art there but my favorite one is not on their site. I wonder if I sent them a picture of what I want if they could make it?
