Default High flow filter under stock cover

I'm looking for a high flow assembly that fits under the stock air cleaner cover for my wife's 2013 1200c. I have an S&S stealth on my FLXH, but the same type of assembly from S&S for a sportster requires a different cover with a center bolt. Arlen ness has something close but I don't think it has a K&N filter. Any ideas?

The stock cover/shroud is the part that hinders the airflow. You can stick any old filter in there, but unless you change the cover/backplate you will still have a crappy stock air cleaner.

Maybe a hammer performance air cleaner will work for you.

You can use the stock cover with a XLFlow-S1, from FigureMachine.com.
CNC machined aluminum backing plate, K&N filter and made in the USA.

Default drill the backing plate!

back in the 70's, when the epa was tighting emissions, we would remove the air cleaner cover, and the filter, then remove the backing plate, and drill it out around the outside of the filter! you can and i have done this to the new harleys, you still need the stage one download! cheers from montana

You need the hd stage one download like you need a hole in your head. Go with a set od Xied's or better yet a real tuner

I bought a Hurricane flow from NRHS because I wanted to keep the hamcan too, it was so beautiful I ended up polishing it and running without the hamcan after all.
Highly recommend it, great service, quality and performance.

Does this kit have the K&N filter or just a red paper filter? I was originally going to use this kit, but can't find a definitive answer.
