About S&S Cycle
S&S Cycle has built American V-twin performance parts in Viola, Wisconsin since 1958 — flywheels, carburetors, cams, cylinder heads and complete crate engines. When a Harley owner talks about a 124, a 128 or a 131 build, they are usually talking about S&S. Few names carry more weight with engine builders in this space.
Give your 1991-2006 carbureted Harley-Davidson Sportster a performance boost and classic style with the S&S Cycle Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit. This complete bolt-on system features a pleated cotton-gauze filter element and a sleek gloss black teardrop cover. It's designed to enhance airflow to your carburetor, improving engine breathing and overall performance.

Common questions
Will this air cleaner fit my fuel-injected Sportster?
No, this S&S Cycle Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit is specifically designed for 1991-2006 carbureted Harley-Davidson Sportster models only. Fuel-injected Sportsters require a different air cleaner assembly.
What is included in the air cleaner kit?
The kit comes complete with the backplate, a pleated cotton-gauze filter element, the gloss black teardrop cover, an adaptor plate, all necessary mounting hardware, and detailed installation instructions.
Do I need to make any carburetor adjustments after installing this kit?
Upgrading to a high-flow air cleaner like this one can lean out your fuel mixture. It is highly recommended to inspect and potentially re-jet your carburetor to ensure optimal performance and prevent engine damage.

Quickest delivery ever!
Great product! Very comparable, and in some ways more compatible than the dealer ones. Instructions have you everything you needed to know about putting these in accurately so you dont mess up your cylinders but its definitely not a novice mechanic task!
