is there an SE air cleaner kit that comes with a chrome backplate? All I see is the cast aluminum plate kits and the chromed backplate sold separately by itself. If there is no kit, is it possible to buy all the parts separate?
Yes you can buy all the parts separately from the kit. And yes there is a kit that comes with the chrome backing plate.....it's called the Arlen Ness Big Sucker. But there is not SE kit that comes with the chrome plate.
That's the way I did it. And, yes, it is cheaper than the kit. Much cheaper than buying the kit then replacing the backplate. And, as stated, leave the Harley filter in the catalog. Just got mine from AutoZone, (K&N). They had to order it and it arrived in 29 hrs.
Check with Jamie at FuelMoto. I just bought an SE breather kit from him with a chrome backplate. It was a little more than the standard one but his also came with the K&N filter included.
