Arlen ness filter
Hi all,
my 2012 flht came with the arlen ness air filter on it already. I need to replace the filter as it no longer fits flush at the intake but don't know if it is stage 1 or 2. Is there a way to tell which it is?

A N air filter
FWIW, the Arlen Ness instructions say that petroleum products should not be used to clean their filter, and to not oil it as that will cause the filter media to deteriorate.
True enough. While doing maintenance, I found that my A N Big Sucker filter media was disintegrated where the crankcase breather (twin cam 88) mist had accummulated.
At that, I assembled and installed crankcase to atmosphere modification as seen on many youtube videos. That replacement filter was $50. p/n#D639-7

Anything is possible but probably not. Stage 2 to most people means an upgraded cam, high flow air filter, and either a full exhaust or upgraded mufflers. Usually, the throttle body is upgraded to a larger size when doing a bigger engine build such as an upgrade to a 128 or 131.
