SE air cleaner - filter replacement when???
I have a SE Air Cleaner on my 05 Ultra and am curious as to when the elements/filters are normally replaced??? 
Every oil change???
Fairly clean air out here in Wisconsin (except in farm country where it smells like sh$t)
THANKS.

RE: SE air cleaner - filter replacement when???
Do you have the K&N element or the HD blue rimmed one. If you have the HD blue rimmed dry element, I would replace it with a K&N oiled filter element.
There have been problems with the blue HD filter deteriorating after a few thousand mile. If you get the K&N 0800 you will get a filter that is oil treated, and they will last for the lifetime for the bike. They are oil treated and all you do is wash them periodically and re-treat with oil. K&N has a kit to do the cleaning and treating.
Regards,
Bill

I have the blue rimmed one kit - 29773-02B - thought it looked kinda cheap.

The K&N number is 0800. This is K&N number and not a HD number. I think you might be able to order one from AutoZone for about 35.00.

RE: SE air cleaner - filter replacement when???
I have to agree with BH on this one. There are countless problems assocatied with over oiling air filters and wetting the MAF. I run K&N's on all my vehicles and just shake out the dirt. When they get that bad, I replace them.
But Iam the same person that replaces a battery every couple years instead of waiting for it to cause troubles

RE: SE air cleaner - filter replacement when???
I just ordered K&N HD-0800 from Auto Zone yesterday(32.99). When I look on the K&N website it does not list that filter to apply to 2006 models. If it doesn't, I reckon I'll have one for sale. Anybody got a for sure answer on that????

To check if their dirty hold a light up to it with element out, you should be able to see light if not clean or replace. There is no set mileage, it depends on your envirement.
