1st off...I apologize because I'm sure this has been beaten to death....but:

After owning my 07 FLHRC for about 5 months I'm looking to replace the stock air cleaner assembly.
Just my opinion, but I'm tired of looking at this BIG, obnoxious unit on the side of my bike.
I want something "tight/small" that offers functionality and is easy on the eyes (no exposed hoses off the rocker boxes, etc).

I was considering two choices:
1) The Kurakyn Hi-Five: http://www.kuryakyn.com/products.asp...ey&ci=3365
2) Ness Big-Sucker (Stage 1 or 2??)

Haven't found out much on the Kurakyn as far as quality/functionality. Looks good in the pictures, but never seen one up close.
Ness seems solid and offers an 8 inch round cover which looks good. Not sure if I need the Stage 1 or 2 though?
Other options? Not really looking for an exposed air cleaner element.

Bike:
07 FLHRC
V&H Fishtail 2s
K&N in stock AC
PC3 with map from FuelMoto
Runs Great.

Thanks for any help/

 

The advantage of the Ness over the Kuryakyn is the ability to mount any aircleaner cover that fits an evo or twin cam (the stage I BS). I have a stage I BS with an evo round cover on it on my bike- very clean and simple looking. No exposed hoses. Can also run the TC football cover.

I believe the stage II BS requires a Ness cover.

 

Thanks.
I bought the BS 1 with Ness 8" smooth cover.
Looks nice and compact and should do the trick.

 

good choice,,, as I saw a comparison in one of the mags,,, the Kury filter didnt provide good amounts of flow compared to the rest

 

I have the Ness stage 1 with a 8 inch Nesschrome cover.I like it.Looks good and way better than a ham can IMO.
