Default Cure for WG air cleaner leg room?

What air cleaner can solve the problem of the 2017 Wide Glide pushing the right knee out?
I don't want to extend the peg or brake.
Thanks.

The HO air cleaner sits pretty close to the engine. You blow a gasket if you sat on mine, lol. You could get a velocity stack or one of those smaller round cleaners like a big sucker or a dk customs outlaw.

I've been eyeing off this one but I need to work out how it vents the crank case gases before I pull the trigger.

If you're not a fan of the phallic look of the heavy breather style , take a look at the DK Custom 587. It's very low profile, even with my oversized cover fastener my knee has never touched the A/C. Another win is the 587 is already set up to vent the hot, oily, oxygen depleted crankcase gasses to atmosphere...

^^^Exactly^^^

Removed stock HD Heavy Breather fm my '17 FXDLS b/c (1) leg room & (2) not my choice in looks/performance. Installed DK Custom 587 w/breather kit and got my leg room back.

Pretty sure it does the same as the SE Dirk Diggler cleaner. I just butchered one of those too. It was nearly identical to the ness/screaming eagle round cleaner style venting through the stand-offs:

someone here just installed the k&n on a street bob. They've got your answer for sure. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showp...5&postcount=13

The elbow-style induction tube is the only thing I found that works for me. I think it depends on your body proportions.
