Title: Questions about 57 batwing air cleaner.
Post by: Joe Abernathy #17524 on October 19, 2005, 08:40:02 AM
I have a batwing air cleaner from a 56 and need to convert it to fit a 57.  I know that the 57 is shorter in the throat but I dont know how much.  Also are there any other differences?

Thanks,
Joe

I believe the pods in 56 had the top hole centered  where my 57 is offset. If you would want me to measure anything on my 57 cleaner make a diagram as to where to measure it,and send me a copy to enter the lenghts.Warren

Warren,

I tried to email some pictures to you and they wont go thru. I sent them to the address listed on your post.  Is there another address I can send them to?

Thanks,
Joe
