Hi all,

I'm looking into replacing my gigantic sardine can of a stock air filter on my xl883n, with something a little smaller, with slightly better knee clearance.

 

Any advice or reviews of recommended air filters? What do you run on your bike? Happy with it?

 

I'm considering:

-Joker machine 4" air cleaners -     http://jokermachine.com/products/harley-davidson/sportster-parts/rain-sock-for-high-performance-a-c.html

-Performance machine Max HP air cleaner - http://www.performancemachine.com/motorcycle-air-cleaners/MAX-HP.html

 

plus anything else fairly simple and clean looking with good knee clearance. No heavy breathers. I know people love em, but looking for something a little smaller, like my...... 'uh hem'

 

I looked at Roland Sands Clarity, and yeah they're nice, but Jesus, they're huge, and so is the price. I saw one in person (not in the marketing vid, in which they look awesome!)

But in person in harley heaven in the city store - they're like a rubbish bin with a viewing window - huge. Can't see myself hanging one off the side of my bike for fear of it only riding in cirlces  (ok... i exaggerate)

 

Appreciate any ideas.

 

Cheers,

Check out Hammer performance and S&S filters.

Performance Machine Black Ops intake looks good.

You want knee clearance then what about the RSD Slant intake? Pricey though..

www.rolandsands.com/products/rsd-slant-carbon-fiber-intake-kit-carbon-ops-

Hammer Performance do ham-can Air Hammer intakes in a forward offset version for better knee clearance 3" or slimmer 2" & you can get the cover customised with your own design. They are affordable too. You'll need an external head breather kit though. I got my Hammer intake powdercoated locally for $50.

OK OK, I know you said no heavy breathers, but plenty of clearance for your knee. just saying....

 Screamin Eagle make this if this is something your looking at..

 

 

 Picked up this one from figure machine from the states for $195 plus shipping , similar to joker , comes in 4 inch or 5 inch round.

The air cleaners from figuremachine.com are very nice pieces. The one on my 48 has a nice velocity stack inside that picked up the power on the dyno quite nicely.

Was havin a look at the Figure Machine intakes again the other day. I'm not a huge fan of the see-through intakes but their Vision-4 looks good.

 I think it has a clear Perspex  cover ,otherwise no use for filter

I just picked this up on Gumtree for $250....... It's now my weekend project. Any suggestions for a good place to get it tuned in Brisbane?

45WL Cheers for that, I'll give them a call tomorrow and find out what the damage will be.

 

Love my AN double barrel chrome for somethiing completely different but may not suit your bike or taste - picked up ex-US for roughly $300

I just fitted the Arlen Ness big sucker to my 04 1200c and I love it, both the look and the performance are great and a bonus is the knee clearance

Not sure if it would suit what you're going for as it looks like black might be your preference, but I just put a Kurakyn Velociraptor on my 48 and I love it. The induction noise at full throttle is worth any leg room it takes up.





It sticks out about the same as the stocker, but is smaller in diameter so you might get an extra inch of knee room..

 By useing NRHS off set Huricane cleaner and a V-Twin vintage "K" Model seat I am able to touch the tank on both sides with my knees.

 

Hi to all the sportster fanatics,

    I have a 2012 ,1200 sportster custom (LOVE THE BIKE), and i have just fitted screamin eagle sports tuner and Heavy breather and slip-ons, there seems to be a little improvement in performance but not as much as the doller spend would indicate- but thats not my delema; I have noticed after about 200klm that small oil droplets seem to be splatering onto the right hand side cover (oil tank). I have trace back to where the new heavy breather bolts to the engine, where there appears to be a small amount of oil. IS THIS NORMAL, IS THERE A CURE- or do I just put up with it and clean the oil splatter every couple of hundred clicks. All comments appreciated.

By the way,  thanks to all that replied to my earlier delema with my suspension bottoming out: saving up for some heavy duty progressives .

Regards
