Arlen Ness Inverted Air Cleaners
« on: June 12, 2013, 08:57:55 AM »

My husband and I each installed Arlen Ness Inverted Air Cleaners last week.  They look sharp and appear to have really helped the performance.  Here are some pics:

This is the deep cut:

This is the slot track inverted model:



It looks a little like a speaker-

Both really give the bikes that "more of a custom" look (and yep, they do sorta look like speakers...) but if choosing from the two, really like the slot track the best..... :2vrolijk_21:

Will have to give ol' Arlan's website a visit.... ;D

Actually, I ordered through the HD dealership. There is a local shop that offers them below MSRP, too.

I really like the look of both of them.  :2vrolijk_21:  Do they stick out further from your MC than the standard one on the CVO's?

They do not seem to stick out further, but they sit lower. For example, on my stock set-up, with my feet on the floorboards, a little spot just above my knee would rest against the edge of the a/c. With the Arlen Ness, the a/c lines up about about two inches below my knee.
I'll post a picture later of the view from the seat.

Very nice looking air cleaners. Do they cover the wires behind them?

The wires on my bike are completely hidden.
On the 2012 RK, there is a black electronic module box and wire that is visible (but not very noticeable) from the rear. We had two different shops do the install, so I'm not sure if the difference is due to the bike models or installation technique.

This is the top view to give you perspective on how far it sticks out.
