what have any of you used, to change the air filter that still allows you to keep the stock cover?

 

Fuel moto sells the upgrade and you can use your stock cover I did.

 

I have the Screamin' Eagle air cleaner and a K&N filter under my stock cover.

 

I have the Arlen Ness Big Sucker under my stock AC cover.
So looks like lots of options for u.

 

Is K&N selling the filter with the contour of the cover now? I believe S.E. has a spacer that mounts to the filter to make it flush, but I could never find a part#.

 

man I love this fourm thanks guys for the info

 

The spacer comes with the SE kit. I bought the K&N after, and it works perfect.

 

I use the Screamin Eagle backplate and filter for Stage 1 on my '13

I use the S&S Stealth backplate and K&N filter in my '02

I like the S&S because of the cone on the back side of the filter plate which is same as the old S&S Super aluminum covers. All this is hidden behind your stock cover "Stealth"

 

So does the stock black housing that sits behind the stock A/C cover remain in place to keep the stock look? The dealer told me that it comes off with the SE Stage 1 filter upgrade and doesn't look all that good. Then I also heard from a dealer parts guy that the stock A/C on the Rushmore bikes breaths about as well as the SE filter and no noticeable improvement is realized. BTW, I'm going to move forward with the PV2 after all so I may be giving you a call.

I am not sure about 14 wetheads but, in all other applications, the stock backplate and filter has a small lip that engages the throttle body bore and reduces the bore diameter. To fully utilize the throttle body bore requires changing the AC backplate.
