Default Air Cleaner

I need help. I'm ready to pull the trigger, but I just can't decide what I want to do. I have it narrowed down between the Arlen Ness Big Sucker and the DK Customs Outlaw.

I want the Outlaw because of DK and how friendly they are here. I also dig supporting the little guy. I mostly like the looks, though the flat cover looks a little awkward.

The Big Sucker is a few bucks cheaper and extremely popular. There are plenty of cover choices.

Pros/Cons? Is anybody unhappy with either?

i have the Arlen ness big sucker, i don't think it performs as well as the SE hi flow element (i don't think it picks up as quick at lower revs) that was installed when i bought the bike. Im looking to change it when ever i get the spare cash. If it wasn't for the looks id go back to the shitty looking SE element.

great service, and amazing customization.

I just bought a Bitchin' new air cleaner. It's Cycle Smith's Grooved K & N filter for my Super E. Have a lot of compliments. I know what you mean about so many people with Big Suckers, but now they are making some cool new cover plates for them.

The chrome Figure machine is 250 bucks .... The customization is really cool though.

I mocked up the mreed cleaner on Sunday... The problem with it is that the filter is just too small with the 4.5g tank. It looks a little awkward.

fair enough man, I'm not sure what else to suggest but i think the big suckers price is reflected in performance.
