One of the members runs an open element air cleaner... I've seen the picure in his sig line... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery they say so I stole his idea... Ness big sucker kit with the 03 air cleaner trim as the end cap.

 

Looks are ok, but where you going to hide when it rains? Open elements died out long ago because they are not rain friendly, but you will figure that out first good rainstorm you run into.

 

This works well, almost an open element.

Looks good. As for hiding when the rain comes, I carry my stock football cover with me in a saddlebag when on a long trip.

 

great idea dawg.. I'll have to be sure to remeber that on my next long trip... I don't have too much rain to worry about here in the So. Cal. desert!

 

Great look,only practical for rides in nice weather,definately not a touring air cleaner.

 

i did that the last time i cleaned the air filter. looked cool...until i got oil all over my jeans! out came the ol' football

 

who rides in the rain?

that's what the jap bike is for

As for oil.. we'll have to wait and see what happens

 

i saw a post where this guy uses a pan lid for a filter cover,,,, lol

 

What's funny about that? Cuz he didn't spend $30-40 bucks for simular one...I have an '06 FXDI and I live in good ole Sunny Florida, that's also Thunderstorm capital of the US... I've been caught in more than a few storms and even ran 100+ miles in a good pouring rain I have an open filter with no problems at all.. I've been at a bike show and me and a bunch of guys had our bikes sitting in a BAD thunderstorm with open filters...... First open filter was on my old carbed '68 Electra Glide... she was tempermental and still ran fine... If the one he made turned out ok more power to him..... Later Skee
