           Installed my new twilight blue lowers last Wednesday.  The air filter that comes on bike will not work with lowers installed.  Removed glove box from right side lower, SE air filter cover barely hit the pivot bolt on vents, so I put glove box back in lower and went back to HD shop and bought the shorter air filter.  Everything fit perfectly. So to answer others questions, No factory lowers will not fit with stock air filter.  Now I have a winter and a summer air filter,  I will be removing lowers next spring and re-installing original air filter and cover.

Mine just got in  :orange:







Will be doing the install this afternoon.

I knew the air filter would not work with the Glove box, but was really hoping with the glove box removed it would work.

I now know it will not work.  Time to get a short filter.

That will really suck... another 3-400.00 :-\

If it comes to that, I will get something like this...

Do you have to buy the entire filter assembly or can you just get a shorter filter element?

I like the looks of that filter you are considering though...that would look really nice on the RGC.   :2vrolijk_21:

humm... I do not know if that is available.  I will need to check, either way I loose the cool looks of the one I have... shorter filter element means loosing that surrounding housing.

And this one can't be rotated... take a look, it has only one way to be installed...





We are going riding this weekend, and I will not stay home due to this... I removed the pocket from the right fairing lower for now and installed the air cleaner again... this will do until I figure out what to do or what new air filter to get.

      If you use the mounting kit that comes with lowers it might clear the air cleaner with the glove box removed.  I installed that quick detach kit which spaces the bottom of lower away from crash bar a little bit farther than stock mounting.  You could probably get by using stock filter if you take the SE cover off it.  You could also turn the top swival bolt for the vent over and might clear air cleaner.  Was easier to install short filter and be done with it.

Can you share a photo of yours?  With the short filter setup?  I think that would be the easiest route, even if I loose the cool looks of the SE cover.

      Pics of short air filter and lowers.  Cost about $100.00 for filter and rain sock.  Definately looks better with short filter and glovebox in than it did with glovebox removed.

The air flow is lower than stock mount, isn't it? What about the engine perfs?

Thank you for the photos.

I removed the glove box to be able to use it this weekend.  New air cleaner to arrive Wed.  I figured that if I ever want to install speakers I would be in the same situation. So went with a RSD AC.

You made the right choice. Air cleaner goes well with the skull emblem.
