Looking through their catalog the Big Sucker is referred to as a Stage II Unit.... pardon my lack of knowledge,,, but can it be used in a Stage 1 application, with just Pipes and a PC V?

Thanks,

JV

 

The Big Sucker stage II has a larger filter. Both (I & II) use the same backing plate - only difference is the filter.

Will it work? Yes. But I'd opt for the traditional sized stage I over the larger stage II

EDIT to add - Here's a link to their BS page which show both. http://www.arlenness.com/c-1161-big-...lter-kits.aspx

From the website -
Stage I kit features a Team-Ness High-Flow filter that accepts all 1993 and up oval or round OEM outer covers.
Stage II kit features a 20% larger Team-Ness High-Flow filter that requires an 8" round Ness or OEM outer cover.

 

Iguess I'm a bit lost, in Stage 1 I see the billet suckers.... I see alot of stuff for FLT Models, nothing for FXD/Dyna. Am I missing something (besides brain cells)

AN has a stage 1 and stage 2 big sucker - and I have the stage 1 with chrome backing plate on my dyna.

 

im running stage 1 big sucker on my fat bob, an i use blank dvd discs i had laying around for my cover. Bought a chrome cover but it was for a stage II and was too big on my bike, kept hitting the tank going down the road.

 

Thanks guys.... I'll poke around a bit....

 

Just took a look at the filter elements and they're pretty expensive. How often do they need to be changed?

 

Changed? Never. Washed/re-oiled - maybe 2 or 3 times a season. K&N sells a wash/oil recharge kit for like $14 and it'll last for years
I probably recharge my filter way more often than I need to, but I'm running an open filter and like the clean, fresh, red filter look.

 

Ah. Ok. I didn't realize they were K&N style.
