Default high boy air cleaner

I see these air cleaners for sale on Ebay. Do they work well or are they too restrictive. If they're ok, I'd like to build one. Will someone share a list of parts please. Thanks

How about an item number? I for one do not have time to search.

I am also interested. The setup I have now, an airmaze with K&N filter is in the way of the Aermore whistle I want to install. This highboy looks like I can still have a filter AND clearance.

I use one on my '29 CCPU and like it fine, plus there is an opening in the bottom for any gas drips. I hope you make one.

It works great for me. I wish I'd cobbled it together in the first place. Then I could buy some plumbing parts and a good filter and sell it on the internet.
I think you should lay out the $50 and support the guy who did do the thinking work. Then you'd have time to think through some other problem and sell your solution to the rest of us.

Here ya go. I use one of these. It has a K&N filter, should be free flow.
Super light weight, but below the carb.

Would be nice if I could buy just the tubing as I already have the filter.

Thanks Willie Krash. Looks like it will fit. Hope it doesn't constrict the air flow. In a few weeks we're going on a tour to yosemite and the tour director mentioned some dirt roads. I'll report back later.

The Snyder filters look great too, the K&N is a cotton filter impregnated with oil too. I've had no problems and I'm not keen on dirt in my motor.
Have fun in Yosemite Glen.

Is there a reason Henry didn't have them in the first place? I bet there was a pile more dust and dirt flying around back then.
