Just curious if anybody has changed their air cleaner?

Personally, I think this one will flow enough air for what I'll need.  But there are different thoughts and opinions.....some may want more air flow.  What are you doing with your SESG?

[Mr. Wizard]

IMHO...  I'll be keeping mine.

Seems to me that if you took the filter apart and the SEAC filter apart, unfolded the filter material, the square inch filter area would be as much if not the same. My opinion, it would be more than the SEAC.

Sort of like this... Take a tall drinking glass and measure the circumference of the glass. One would thing it would be smaller in measurement than the glass is tall. Do this, you may be very surprised the circumference of the average glass is much longer in a straight line than the height of the glass.

I will be keeping my air cleaner....I just really like the way it looks, not to mention it is already a high flow set-up.

I'm keeping mine also....anything better  may not be worth the $$ for the amount of gain.

Keeping mine as well eventually will install a K&N element but thats about it

Heavy Breather is good... otherwise keep what ya got. IMO of course.

 29253-08A Fits '08-later Touring models. Does not fit models equipped with fairing lower glove boxes. DOES fits if you remove the right glove box... I've been running this one for 3 years with lowers.

28716-10 Fits '08-later Touring models equipped with Fairing Lower Glove Boxes. This one was released just this year for fairing lowers use.

I had the heavy breather on my 08 SG, but am going to stay with the AC that came with the SESG.  I like the looks of it and I think it probably gives about the same air flow as it's pretty much open all around.

I will be keeping mine. I like the like better than all the others I have seen. I liked the heavy breather when it came out, now seems I see them everywhere to overload

So are you keeping it or going with K&N?  I think the K&N will be a thicker elelment....thereby providing more surface area. 

I'd like to see what that looks like on our bike.

Has k&n made one to fit? I can't find one on their site.   

[Invisible68]

the only thing I was looking at doing was to put the sock the filter then the chrome cover.  have it tuned with this set up.. then I don't have to worry about finding it when I ride in the rain.. since I ride in all weather.  but will have to look at it when I get the bike.

Yes I do realize that it will restrick the flow a little... but I really don't want to be looking for the sock in a down pour on the side of the road... and I don't like the look of the sock over the chrome....

JC, is memory serves me correctly according to Steve at Fullsac the HD Heavy Breather is worth about 2 HP on the dyno when changing nothing else... For me, I prefer the stock look as well.

This looks like the element here is possibly the right one but I emailed them about a 2010 SESG solution.

I think that will be a first.  

I've got the A/C sock in the saddle bag but now that I have leg fairings, it'll probably get moved to the glove box.  It will stay in the bike, though.  I've been known to get caught out playin in the rain myself, so it will definately stay in the bike.

[Wheelsnkeels]

Sock definitely in the bag not sure it will fit in the manner described and if it did will probably damage the sock.

The only issue riding in the rain without it is possible wear to the paper filter element.

This is fixed more simply with a reusable filter element like the K&N element.

The Kuryakyn Hyperchargers for example have no rain socks but come with a permanent element.
