RE: Open air filter
I'm running with just the air filter insert on top of a K&N filter. (2nd bike doing so) No problems. Also have S/E slip ons. More air in and more air out means more power!

RE: Open air filter
I've been running the open air cleaner on mine for over a year, with no problems at all. The only thing to be careful with is if your bike is parked outside during a rain storm. The filter will get wet, and the oil will drip down onto the cam cover. Also while washing the bike, you'll need to put a cover over the air filter to protect it.

RE: Open air filter
I am running a SE aircleaner with no football cover. I am using a Screamin Eagle aircleaner insert and it to me it looks really good. I like having something a bit different and around here, no one else is doing it. I haven't had any problems yet and don't reallu forsee any. The only issue I could imagine would be rain but I haven't logged much time in the rain with my open set up. A little rain though hasn't given me any trouble.

RE: Open air filter
I know plenty of people that have done this starting back in 99-00. No problems. Another trick for the tigha$$@$. Find a music CD or DVD with a cool face. The side that plays, with no markings. Itmight need a washer to take up some space in the center were the a/c bolt is. Fits perfect and gives a very trick look with reflections. you will have to replace often due to scratches but it's something different.
