Default SE Heavy Breather VS Round Air Cleaner?

Hello, I have a SE Heavy Breather on my bike now but I am thinking of modding up my own round cleaner. My quesiton is will I loose any power by doing this? I would get a K&N round air filter.

I like these:

Top pic is K&N or Big Sucker and bottom is a SE.. have an SE myself with no probs..mate had a K&N and the AC cover did'nt sit right,the two protruding bolts you see at the top did'nt allow his cover to sit flush. Same as another guy with a Big Sucker.. I'm sticking with SE

Part number on the k&n? Looks like it would flow as much as the heavy breather to me, it looks pretty clean too. Wonder what you would do about the rain though? Could you find a rain sock to fit that?

This is what I want on my bike... Is this a Harley part of DIY?

I'm definitely doing that! Does anyone know what I would need other than the filter and cover going from a heavy breather to this setup? Thanks for the info

I have one of these but not needed it so far.

There is nothing in the bag other than the sock and a washer that you use as a spacer. Hardly what you would call a "kit".

Took off the football A/C cover and re-installed the filter leaving off the football and mounted the 100th Anniversary trim directly to the SE tage 1 A/C.






In order to protect the exposed filter element from the rain, I use an A/C rain sock like this:



The five hole bracket I have on my Dyna came with the 100th Ann. A/C trim (see parts diagram below). It sells for USD 13,66 at Zanotti.com and LSHD1.com.







Round backplates for 99-07 Dyna's:

29510-05 chrome
29586-06 wrinkle black

Round backplates for 08 and up Dyna's:
29170-08 chrome
29119-08 wrinkle black
