Hello all. I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I have a Ness Big Sucker stage 2 on my 2011 FLTRX but am getting tired of the huge look of it so wanted to put a Stage 1 big sucker replacement filter on there if it will fit? The diameter looks alright but wondering about
the bolt pattern so if one of you experts out there can let me know if it will work(or not), I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much from Japan. Ride safe and enjoy your summer!
The only difference is the taper to the front on the stage 1, If it's listed for your bike the bolt pattern is the same.
Just get the correct cover if you use a disc only type. It's 5.5" the stage 2 is 6.5"
RANGER73 Thanks so much for the info. I'll but a replacement for the Stage 1 big sucker and find a faceplate for it and give it a try. really appreciate you taking the time to reply and help me out.
Have a great weekend.
