Stock 2009 Road King with slip ons and XIEd. Think I want to add more air but keep stock cover...What are you using that your happy with? With no oil leaking out of Air cleaner.

Thanks
Hap

SE stage 1.
You could take a dremel and open up the restrictive material on the factory unit and save a few bux. Not sure how the factory air filter flows, but the SE does give you a new one as well as an open back plate.
Besides the SE stage 1 does allow use of the factory cover.

I am interested also. I think we need to ensure they backer plate has the oil vent tubes to avoid dripping so stay away from those with out.

Fuel Moto Stage 1 Air Cleaner (several options) and Arlen Ness Big Sucker are popular options which use the K&N-style, oiled-cone filter system.

I've not had an issue with oil blow-by, but to mitigate that condition, try running the oil BETWEEN the Add and Full marks.

You can use the stock cover with the Outlaw 587 system. There will be no oil leaking out of the air cleaner because none gets fed in there with with these systems.

Click HERE to see them.


You can also use the stock cover with the Pro Billet. Click HERE to see them.

Fuel Moto. Nice thing about their kit is that you leave the throttle body support plate on, which makes the install much easier. Quality product, reasonable price.
