Default Air Changer kits..

I'm looking to replace my Air Filter with something like the Screaming Eagle or K&N. However, since I have leg fairings, I noticed they all the casings ride up on top of the fairings, basically blocking the flap from being opened on the back side. Any suggestions on how to prevent that, besides remove the leg fairings all together?

I put a stock K&N and drilled out the back plastic plate with a hole saw, stock look with all the air flow of the 3 or 4 hundered dollar air cleaners.

I'm talking about this type of Air Filter:

Is this what you meant?

I don't know if other manufacturers make one that fit your bike but the MOCO's is http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

There are two different types. The link above fits your bike. The filter and the elbow are shorter to accomodate the lower fairings. I've thought about using the heavy breather also but I'm concerned about some comfort complaints regarding hitting it with your right knee.

Hope this helps.

K&N is the only way to go you'll never have to buy another filter again.
