Default heavy breather and lower fairings + hog tunes does not work

Just a FYI. You can not use the hogtunes lower speakers and heavy breather. I even looked at making a spacer to slide the filter back (somebody else on the forum made one) but it will not work. Looks like I will be going to be selling a heavy breather check the classifieds section. Now I need to figure out which stage one kit to use. Arlen Ness, Vance and Hines, or the harley sreamin eagle?

jm1211...

The SE Heavy Breather for HD models equipped with lowers is identical to the standard SE Heavy Breather with the exception that the K&N Filter element is shorter. There is about a 1/4" clearance between the end of the new, shorter element and the right hand lower snap door. And it doesn't look as cool as the longer one...

I hope this helps...

Steve

The short filter is my winter filter. Once the lowers are removed this weekend on goes the longer cooler filter.

I ordered the Heavy Breather when I bought my SG in September of '08. It was on indefinite back order so I ended up canceling the order and putting the money towards pipes instead. Not too long after I saw the fairing lower speakers from Hogtunes and had to have that set up. So all in all I have to say thanks Harley for the back order!
