Cheap Buggers Stage1


If you're like me, and would like to save money on the H-D stage1 Air Cleaner KIT (£140 odd) why not just get a K&N Air Filter that fits inside your OEM Air Cleaner Housing, cut out as many 1 or 1&1/2 inch holes in the back, and smaller ones along the bottom of the Air Filter backing plate/housing to let more air in.

Pop some slip-ons on, re-jet (In my case I'm getting a DFO in the post any day now) and off you go...

K&N Numbers HERE...No kit required, they fit the original housing

Re: Cheap Buggers Stage1

Wow, I knew you guys were technical but I didn't realise quite how far you were prepared to go to show the rest of us up

Building scheme for DFO:
DFO can be built using building units of 22T atoms consisting of two sets of
double T4-rings with “handles” forming T6-rings. The T22 unit very much resembles the building
unit in LAU. T22 units are connected through T4-rings into chains along c after pure translations
along c. Chains are connected along a 6-fold axis to form the tubular Periodic Building Unit (PBU)


Umm, must evaluate molecular zeolite structural data on the site more often ;)

Re: Cheap Buggers Stage1

Well, actually I think my version was marginally kore interesting?

Didn't it make you wonder who on earth actually writes about molecular thingummy stuff & publishes a whole treatise about it on the web?

There are some sick fucks out there :'(

Re: Cheap Buggers Stage1

Back to air cleaners....... us old folks with our aged ironheads just put a couple of washers under the cleaner cover to lift the edge away from theback plate. The more washers you add, the more air you flow. No drill, no hassle; just more air! Simple? Oh, yes we are!!

Re: Cheap Buggers Stage1

Ah, but even though more air got in, was it unfiltered?

The way you describe your trick it sounds like you just created a gap that unfiltered air just sneaks past.

The OEM Filter is very restrictive, K&N far less, but it still stops chunks of chit entering the Motor while at the same time letting it breath.

h.h.

Re: Cheap Buggers Stage1

some interesting spelling on here?
seriously why bother if you lift the air filter away yes just creates a gap
might as well just take it off

so why do we need an air filter any way
why not just a gauze to stop the big bits?
