When I saw the price of the se air cleaner, I thought that i could make it just as well,,and for way cheaper.
Took a late model cleaner cover,placed a roll of tape beside it to keep the marker level,,marked around it,,cut it with a hacksaw,,cleaned it up with a dremel,,sanded the chrome to roughen it up for paint,painted it flat black.
I used an se air filter,and bought an se emblem for 5 bucks.
All done it cost me about 50 bucks.

I had a Forcewinder AC (cost just over $300) on my RK, it was essentially the same as the K&N you're looking at. I cant give you the HP numbers but I did get considerably better performance out of the bike.

I did similar to vincentostapowich, except I cut the stock backplate up and used it mainly as a mounting point for the filter since the stock filter is a whole unit in itself and has a back and front plate. It works perfect and looks stock. Ill have to get pics of it soon.

I always wished I would have spent the $180.00 more over the stage I and got the heavy breather, but now that I did this mod I'm very happy with the looks of my AC.
