Can anyone tell me the diameter of the front of the Big Sucker air filter? I've got an air cleaner cover that I like, but it's only 5-5/8" diameter, and I'm not sure it's big enough:

It says it will fit the Harley Performance Series - Screamin' Eagle kits, so I'm hoping it would fit the Big Sucker too...

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

I never see covers on Big Suckers - too big.

 

The Arlen Ness Big Sucker 1, is actually a little smaller diameter then 5 5/8". The cover over laps about 1/8"

 

Not a lot of room for air huh

 

Thanks for the reply! I see it looks like you have one of the azece.com covers? How do you like it with the Big Sucker? Would you suggest a different filter setup that would fit better with their covers?

Thanks again!

 

I use a HD air cleaner trim insert for my cover and it fits right to the edge. I'm not sure of the exact measurements. Arlen Ness sells covers as well and might provide the dimensions on their site.

 

I've checked every site that sells the kits, including the Arlen Ness site, and none of them list any dimensions. I've also emailed several sellers, and can't get an answer. The only reply I got said that I need to use an 8" cover, which doesn't really answer my question.

 

I'll measure and post tonight.

 

I just measured mine and it is 5 1/2" across the trim piece that I use for my cover, and like I posted before it goes right to the edge of the filter perfectly.

 

My cover is from azece.com. The only thing that I don't like is that it is polished aluminum, wish they had a chrome option. I think the Arlen Ness Big Sucker 1 has a cleaner set up then all the others out there. It also comes with the K&N filter and chrome rounded allen bolts that attach to the head.
