Default Heavy Breather Replacement- Help!!

I have a SE Heavy Breather and the air cleaner is laying on the road somewhere! Took a ride to Arkansas and the thing fell off...

Does anyone know the demensions? I'd like to get one from K&N but don't have the bike at work and would like to get it ordered.

ID for clamp to 90 degree and length of filter...

Of course the air filter element is not available seprately through HD!

Isn't the filter the same dimensions as the Ness Big Sucker? I was under the impression they were interchangeable...I know the BS base has issues, but I think the filter itself is decent, somethin to look into before HD makes you think you need the whole thing just for 1 lost part

EDIT: Duh, I didnt realize which you were talking about...I'll keep an eye out

I also have the SE Heavy Breather on my black SG. I didn't like the color of the filter so I bought the Wimmer Super Filter HPF3-2 W09-071 repacement filter.
The filter material is black with chrome on the end and chrome clamp. It fits perfectly on the SE Heavy breather and I've had on for 3 years and still looks new.

I believe you are looking at the cloth filter cover not the filter for $21.00.
The replacement filter is in the $70.00 plus range.

Yes loctite is your friend!!

Although the filter seems to not grab the chrome too well- looks like a little scuff job is in order....
