There were many of these falling off anad spinning up in Nelson I think in each case they were running the k n filter. Seems to be a trend
For specifics check with hogasm canuck or arcticdude
Doesn't HD have a part number for a gasket that goes around the OD of the air filter to make contact there. Keeps the housing from rocking back and forth on the center.
Hmmmm. Don't know if HD does, Don, but you can see the foam rubber thing that came with the K&N. It doesn't work with the stock SEUC A/C cover too well. Rocks back and forth.
Could be completely mistaken Henry but thought I remembered a hard rubber "gasket" on some applications. Made for complete mate of the filter to the cover and took the flex out.
A different application but on mine I had to do a bit when I started using the SERK style air cleaner cover. It comes out of the box with a thick (.375" or so if I remember right) spot welded on the inside of the housing. The cover was that far out from the filter. So only contact was at the center and it would have rocked back and forth.
Simply took the Dremel to the spot welds and lost the spacer. Then contact at the center and the outside diameter. No more wiggle nor rock and roll.
I don't think the hard rubber would work either. The stock SEUC A/C cover is a stamped piece, one end is wider than the other, and the center (bolt) contact point points inward.....also stamped. So it makes good contact where the center bolt is, and then there are contact points at the top and bottom of the A/C cover and air filter of about a half inch. Doesn't contact anywhere else, so it just rocks.....which is a fantastic recipe for the crack in the air filter I now have. Time to shop for a new A/C cover........like the Air Wing.
New K&N HD-0800, Air Wing A/C cover and TC103 Medallion are on order......along with a matching horn cover and a few other odds & ends.Henry,
Henry,
Great choice :2vrolijk_21: ...
You know there is a horn cover to match, and a 103 medalion will fit on it too. ;D

I think so, Gary. I always liked that cover. Had one on my softail along with the matching horn cover. I ordered the matching horn cover this time as well as indicated in my earlier post. Is the 103 medallion a sticker that fits into a blank, which fits into the screw recess on the A/C cover.....just like the TC88 medallion? If so, I'll just order another 103 medallion to get the sticker for the horn cover. Pretty cheap at $25.44 for the 103 medallion. Paid $149.68 for the Air Wing A/C Cover and $36.76 for the Air Wing Horn Cover. Also ordered the Saddlebag Lid Organizers for $65.36 and the Fairing Lower Glove Box Liners for $23.96.It's a heavy metal medallion that has the insert that you can stick it into to fit in the A/C cover, or just use the metal sticker to put into the horn cover. If that makes sense. You'll see when you get it how it works.

Twolane,
I was going to remove that welded in spacer, but it looked to me that it was an after thought because the cover would hit the two mounting posts of the backing plate. Does your SE cover hit the backing plate at the breather bolts now that the spacer and gasket are removed?
Thanks
