Inverted Series Air Filter by ARLEN NESS (Manufacturer's ref: 18-985) — an intake kit with a distinctly roadster design, crafted to enhance aesthetics while optimising airflow. CNC machined forged aluminium body, black anodised finish, and wrapped synthetic filter: the kit embodies the "inverted" philosophy with an inverted top that serves as a velocity stack for a streamlined and uniform air intake.
- Construction: CNC machined backplate and covers from billet forged aluminium, black anodised finish.
- Breather System: Big Sucker™ technology with concealed breathers and O-rings connecting the cylinder heads to the throttle body/carb, creating a nearly closed system.
- Filtering Media: black synthetic element wrapped in stainless steel mesh (inverted top and 360° pleated sides) — reusable, washable, and water-resistant.
- Installation: no hoses or external accessories required; simplified mounting on compatible architectures.
- Origin: made in the USA. Also suitable for 1988–1990 models (the breather system is not applicable to these years).
Ideal product for Sportster owners seeking a stylish intake piece, providing a more direct airflow and a clean integration with the engine. Easy maintenance: washable and reusable filter to maintain optimal airflow season after season.
