pdargen, The HD "Compact" filter is about 1/4" from the lower. The glove box really becomes useless at this point. If I want to put speakers or use the glove box for storage, I will go the route of Wachuko's bike.

Iam new to this board just to help a friend install lowers WITH speakers - Great info here...  Can someone give me the link(S) for Wachuko's info on HOW to deal with airclearner AND speakers in Lowers   - Friends bike is the 2012 Maple RG..

Thanks,,,

+1 - After seeing a few photos from folks here (foyboy) and the feedback... going with a shorter filter would have been a waste of $.  First, you loose the cool black and polished cover. And second, the glove box is useless as you can't open the thing to get out squat, plus, if you ever install speakers, the short filter will not work anyway.



My suggestion is to spend the money on a new setup.  Many to select from.  From the stock unit found on the Street Glide CVO to the aftermarket.



This is what I went with... but thinking about changing the face for the new Clarity line... along with their Clarity derby cover.

Being that close to the glove box, I'd think it's blocking some flow to the air cleaner anyway.  Have you considered the ventilator air cleaner that's on the 09 SERG and the SESGs?  Definately more filter surface and not being so close to anything, I'd think a little better air flow.

Nice mod! Agree with the others, change out the air filter for something more functional and less abstructive.

Mod on!

Is this the original seat or aftermarket? Interested in front and rear backrest option.

Not sure why you posted all of the pics sideways, on the first page.      I just edited the first post to rotate the picture upright.

I'll let you edit the others.
