Default Air filter removal
'07 Road King Classic with Stage 1. Went to replace filter (it's dry type, no oil). Removed football shaped cover, and assumed filter would pull right out (it's a round element with no attaching screws and plate). Still tightly attached but don't see fasteners. What am I missing? Thanks much!

If it's like mine there should be 3 screws facing you after you remove the cover if there aren't any screws maybe it's just stuck to the backing plate

Good call, DPete. Just came back from the garage. Stuck to the plate. Element was pretty clean, but still needed a bit of "gentle persuasion" to remove. Thanks!
