Alternate A/C to SE for stage 1
Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone has used one of these, It seems a better (and cheaper) alternative to the SE for stage 1 as it has an billet Al back plate as well as a K&N filter standard. I have read about the issues with the SE composite backing plate warping.

Looks tight - I have a DA question. If someone was to add a SE A/C or setup akin to the link you posted... Would the ecu have to be remapped or would there be a degradation in performance without doing anything others than the install of the cleaner?
Here are a bunch of other options that do not feed the hot oil air back into the air cleaner. (won't warp or crack either)

If you get the a/c from ebay, just make sure you use Blue Loctite on all those screws. Same goes for any a/c.
Here's another billet option from Hammer Performance. They also have a similar billet option that allows you to keep the stock cover.
Here's a round a/c from NRHS. They also have a billet a/c that uses the stock cover:

I have the stage 1 A/C from FigureEngineering and it is a great product and comes with good instructions. It worked great on my bike along with a carb kit from CVPerformance.

That Ebay listing is Figure Engineering. Figure Machine is a subsidy of them and has an awesome web site with lots of cool parts. They have a few different styles of air cleaners with options to customize the face plate. Also, 100% made in the USA with outstanding customer service. They've always done good by me.

Thanks guys!! Since posting my question I have read a lot of other posts about the negatives/problems with feeding crankcase air/oil back into the combustion chambers (internal air breathers). As a result I am now looking at a similar NRHS product which uses a separate external breather kit.

Is there a difference between the HDstage I air cleaner and the one that comes with SE 95" stage II?
