Build Your Own Stage 1

Here's a way to have a K&N filter in a stage 1 kit instead of the paper...

How is it that this provides better air intake?

On this stage 1 upgrade, is it the amount of air flow that is able to get through the filter element that provides the increased air intake, or a combo of that and hardware opening increased?

The info sheet indicated that this setup "should" work on the listed models according to HD. Is it known for sure that it will fit 07 softail, filter part #HD-1499?

It's a taller than stock filter and a low restriction media in the filter that gives the increased flow.
As far as fitment on the 07, there should be no problems there.

This pertains to pre 08 bikes because of the larger throttle body on the 08 bikes. The part number for the 08 bikes for the backing plate will be different.




Has anybody found a part number for the 08's yet? If not I will check with the dealer middle of next week and see what they say.

Ok just got back from the dealer checking on the Stage One A/C Kit for the 08 Touring Bikes. The whole kit is PN 29260-08 we opened it and took a look. The back plate is cast. The filter is not the one with the blue rubber. It is black rubber and does not appear to be paper either. It is a washable, fiber type, lifetime filter, the parts guy recommended using the K&N products to maintain it. The media to me looked kinda like a fiber glass cloth. The back plate is just a gray color. It could be powder coated or painted with epoxy paint. PN on the back plate is 29239-08. List price on the kit is $139.99

Good info, check on that filter you mentioned, If memory serves me correctly they are cleanable but do NOT get oiled like the K&N do.

When I saw the media I kinda thought the same thing, I would think soap and water or a degreaser would about do it.

For anyone interested, Chicago Harley Davidson is offering 20% off all HD merchandise, They sent me an email today offering 25% off your most expensive item and 20% off the rest. I think it is 11% and 15% for non Harley stuff. That put the SE Air Cleaner at $84.00 plus shipping. (reg price $111.98) Pretty good deal, my local HD price is $139.99
