I have an 08 Nightster with the stage I S/E. I want to know if anyone uses the Arlen Ness stage II big sucker? I bought an 8" round air filter cover (plate really), that I had to have so, I now need a 8" air filter to use it and that is what the big sucker II is. I wonder if it is to much for my bike? The way I was thinking was that the bike can only allow so much air in no matter what kind of filter I am using.
What I am asking is can I run the Big Sucker stage II on my bike?

I just ordered mine. when I asked weather or not I should use the stage one or two, they told me that the stage two was for bikes with heavy engine mods...(head work, carb, cam, etc.).
Well, I talked to them too. He told me the same thing, that it is made for bikes that have engine work. When I told the guy at Arlen Ness that I wanted it so I can use the
8" air cleaner cover I bought, he acted like it wouldn't hurt to use the stage II because the motor would only use the air it could accept anyways. I realize that my bike won't utilize all the air the stage II can give. I just want a 8'' filter to use my 8" cover. So the question isn't do I need it. It is will my bike run O.K. with it.

You can use the BS II.
I used it on my stock 883 and I still use it with my built motor/

I should add that I'm 5' 9" and don't have a problem putting myfoot on the front peg. But my foot does have to hug the outside of the peg to stay off the cleaner.
