08 CUSE High Flow Air Cleaner
« on: March 13, 2008, 09:34:14 PM »

I'm taking the new 08 Ultra in for service and exhaust, air cleaner and race tuner next week. I have talked with two service shops and both are telling me that once i put the high flow air cleaner on I can no longer use the SE Air Cover with the 110 Logo but have to go with a standard chrome one. My understanding is the high flow body has a single bolt and the SE cover has two bolts. Has any one encountered this and are there other options?

The two small screws only hold the emblem to the shell. Underneath it's the same allen bolt. The problem you run into is the cover will rock back and forth because the cover does not seat well on the round filter element. Those of us that have used the round element have added extra foam gasket to fill in the extra gap. It works very well.

I would take Chief's word for it as he has taken EVERYTHING off his bike and put it all back on. :bananarock:

The stock cover fits just fine - no problems.

This is what happens if the cover is not supported properly.
Luckily my leg caught the cover when it came loose at 70 mph on an interstate in New Hampshire or it would have been trashed.
After this happended I designed and machined a support plate that sits on top of the filter and is held in place with the 3 screws that holds on the air filter element.
The plate provides support for the cover under the area where the 2 screws are that hold on the small cover so the cover now sits firmly on 3 areas instead of just 1 area in the center around the bolt.
This keeps the engine vibration from shaking the hell out of the air cleaner cover fatiguing the sheet metal on the K&N filter around the nut.
I am sure this must have happended to others but nobody has made mention of it.
K&N did replace the filter no charge but I had to return the broken one for evaluation.

A couple of us have done this trick:

Take a metal washer big enough for the AC mounting center bolt to go through and place it between two hard rubber faucet washers.  It makes a ruber mounted spacer about 1/4 inch to isolate the vibration and allow the cleaner to fit over the Hi Flow setup without rocking.  Mount everything back up with the spacer between the factory screamin eagle AC cover and the hi-flo plate and your good to go.  I read about it somewhere on the forum here and did it to my Screamin' Nemo about 6500 miles ago.  Everything's good to go so far.

Ride Safe,
