Mike, I had issues with K&N's air cleaners so I called them about Xtream tops for my S&H. Sorry, we don't make them they said so, I made my own. Stainless steel wire mesh, 180 microns, a noticeable difference when you have a little rpm, as for hood clearance, it's close and the torque bar eliminates engine movement.
I was concerned about trash when building the SS tops and decided to do
an 'unscientific' test, I poured a handful
of 'sandbox' sand on the mesh and shook it over a black piece of paper,
very small amount penetrated and the consistency of +1 baby powder. No air cleaner is perfect and I was satisfied
with the results.
