Default What Air Cleaner should I get?

I have an 2009 883 Iron and I want to get an air cleaner for it. I wanted to know what you would recommend that I get. I want to stay away from something chrome if I can. Let me know what you use and add pictures if you can.

I use the K&N stock air filter replacement. It fits with your existing can and doesn't change the overall look of the bike, plus gives you the increased air flow.

Here is a link to the filter:

I had bought the SE kit, but am thinking of selling it and just getting the K & N drop in. What kind of flow different is there between the two?

I have an Iron too.
I went with the SE Stage 1, which is just an air filter replacement.

If you like the look of the ham can, stick with an air filter replacement.
If not, you could get SE Stage 3 which is has an exposed cone filter.

You want power, talk with NHRS. You want more for looks while getting some increased power, go with a Big sucker (interchangable face plates), RSD, or Joker machine

Sloane, that AC looks really sharp.

JR motosports, I don't think you will much in the way of increased performance if you use the KN without the high flow backplate that comes with the SE kit. I would do some research before going through with that. If I am wrong someone please correct me.
