Open element air cleaner
I'm tired of the ham can look and want to change to an open element look. Anyone use a K&N 0800 without the ham can. Thinking of doing this and dressing up the face of it with a air cleaner insert mounted right on the filter. Any thing i should be concerned about other that a heavy rain?

This has been covered to death many times, do a search.
That said, there isn't too much to worry about. I've run open air filters (SE and Arlen Ness brands) on all my Harley's since about 2003, and never had a problem. Granted, it doesn't rain too often in Arizona, but when it does, it's not fun! I've been out in the rain with the open filter, and haven't had one hiccup.

If you are so bothered by this question why answer at all? I use the HD 0800 on my 08UC but with the smooth round cover.
