I just picked up one of these much cheaper than PM or RSD and looks awesome. I already had the SE back plate. The Exotx filter and cover were $189 shipped. I am trying to find a bolt cover for the banjo bolts.

I bought a V&H Drak AC, black. I'll post a pic if I ever get home to install it.

 

I have the S&S, as well, on my 03 Road King. I have always loved the style of the S&S air cleaner. Have had S&S carbs on my shovel and a Softail. My Road King is fuel injected but it still seems to work great.

 

I am also looking to upgrade the A/C soon.

I'm glad to see some S&S mentioned, but they seem to get less "love" than the SE and Ness Stage 1s. Is there a noticable loss of performance from the S&S or is it just an asthetic issue?

 

Read the reviews on the Doherty if you're looking for performance in a useful RPM range.

The June issue of American Iron is the latest one I've read, on page 58.

 

I've got Ness Big Sucker with the CVO cover, look great and work well.
If i could, i'll change for that : http://www.wimmermachine.com/_html/Intakes.htm

I run the crossroads maliair with detonatorII breather, high quality billet aluminum with high air flow 400 cfm...you can get all black,satin,chrome or a combination.... made in the USA unlike arlen ness cheap China filters.great product and customer service at crossroads, Brian Klock at klockwerks has used em also. http://www.crossroadsperformance.com/cp/?cat=13

 

I went with the HD simple round cover, I did not and still do not appreciate the open filter look on my ride but I hated the football even more, I have a K&N filter similar to the big sucker and a SE wrinkle black base unit. The cover could be powder coated and any of a number of Derby Covers installed to dress it out.

 

I got the arlen ness big sucker with the stock "football" cover on it. To me the football is sort of iconic, seeing a harley without one is like seeing a chevy without a bowtie.

 

Ness=China!

Doherty is a great product and made right here in the USA!
