I hope you have better luck with them than I did and yes I set them to 0.140"....
These are the new Platinum series, lots of changes from the ones you ran.

Installed some gauge visors. The angle they’re at causes a glare in most light so these helped out tremendously.

Swapped the Arlen Ness big sucker filter for a Zippers max flow filter. Have a max flow kit on the Dyna and it’s a good bit taller than the ness.

Fixed my LRS filter envy. Probably not much else and I’m not expecting a power bump, it does make my OCD smile when ogling in the garage.

The ness and the zippers M8 kit have the same air filter mounting in the backplate. Needed the M8 filter and two of the zippers kit studs, had to trim down the studs and cut a 1/4-20 for the install.


Apologies, this post was for the 18 softail forum.

It is a taller air cleaner and it does allow more air to make more power.
I had my bike on the dyno about a month ago and over in this thread You'll see where I posted the sheet showing the difference in power..
I picked up 3.5 pound feet of torque and almost 5 horsepower..

98HRFB,
Was the baseline air cleaner the stock HD unit?

No, it was a K&N stock size but did not have the square inches the Zippers does..

Just a little food for thought in the debate about Lifters with needle bearing versus Lifters with bushings.... it's not a new debate...
