Air Cleaner

[BADOG]

How is your air cleaner installed?

Horizontal

Vertical

 

[Mickeetwo]

I have a D&M spike and the dog runs better with it vertical. No stumble at 72 to 75mph.

Horizontal



Mickee2...which back tire are you using?

 

[Fiyerbirdie]

I also found that the horizontal spike made the bike "hesitate" when I gently rolled on the power at 60+.

Turned the spike to the north and the stumble was gone...

Horizontal looks much cooler... But Form Follows Function.

I am going outside to try a SS teardrop cleaner right now... To me that A/C means business... always has.

If it works the spike will go to the Swap Meet

I agree Fiyerbirdie....looks better horizonal, but the dog likes it vertical

Two fat bitches lol.:up:

Yup I have the S&S twin's and have had 0 probs (with that part anyway lol:2thumbs.

I have the wimmer set-up horizontal. No problemo.

Ran mine vertical and liked the way it looked and ran. Currently have the S&S Desparado and like it also. If you are changing from stock air cleaner make sure you remove the auxiliary bowl vent screw from carb or it will stumble whatever you go with.

RAM AIR.

I am forever changing up and have it both ways, wife says it looks "dangerous" pointed up, I think it looks bad ass either way. Did read that the flow is better up.

 

[KLRDOG]

.............at a 45..............

 

[ringo]

had mine vertical until I got a XXX Mini Taz Carb. Now I can run it in the horizontal position without any issues

 

[francoblay1]

Vertical, I did find it to work better, the Dog does not sneeze as much.

S&S Desparado (got a good deal from Shovelhead Kicker) K&N air filter and a 1/2" thick spacer cut to match the gasket between the carb and backing plate so I can drop the bowl now if needed with out having to remove the backing plate.:2thumbs:

Help !!!

Can any of you guys assist with my problem please, have just put thread under Help section !

When you change the filter from the stock filter to the spike, what do you do with the black pipe that fits to back of airfilter fixing plate please

 

[KLRDOG]

Run it down to the ground... Put a tiny /air filter on it if you like.
