What kinda filter Stage I? Is this washable?
Just bought a 2006 Low Rider from a car dealership. Previous owner unknown. It has 10900 miles on it and in good shape. Other then needing a new rear tire everything else is in fine working order as far as I can tell.
I don't know if a stage I has been done on it or really how to tell. It has screaming eagle slip-on installed. I pulled the air filter and plugs to check them. The air filter doesn't look like the one in the service manual. Here's a picture of it.
Whatcha think? Also is this a washable air filter? Thanks again for all the help.
Continued to search and found that it is a stage I air filter and washable. Once I put my reading glasses on I found "29442-990 653531 Dry type Element do not oil" on the top of the filter plate.

You can wash it with a degreaser/soap and water. AIR DRY.
Plug it in and ride.
Google the PN to be sure... It does appear to be what I think it is.
Also google instructions to clean air filter. Pretty easy to clean.

From H-D site:
MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner Element Maintenance
NOTES
This is a dry air filter. Do not apply oil to the filter element.
When servicing the air cleaner, apply Loctite 243 (blue) to
threads of all fasteners.
1. See Figure 1. Remove air cleaner cover (B) and inspect
the filter element (7) every 5000 mi (8000 km), or more
often under dusty conditions.
2. Clean filter element as follows:
a. Remove and wash element by immersing it, on edge,
in a shallow pan containing enough Air
Cleaner/Degreaser to cover no more than 3/4 the
depth of the filter pleats. Do not let dirty solution get
inside the element. Carefully "roll" the element in the
solution around its perimeter until the entire outer
surface of the filter pleats has been soaked.
b. Remove filter element from cleaner/degreaser and
allow five minutes for the cleaner to dissolve the dirt.
c. From the inside out, rinse the element with cold water.
Shake off excess water, and allow the element to air
dry. Do not dry with compressed air.
3. Install air cleaner element and cover.
