S&S Cycle Air Cleaners for Stock Harley-Davidson Carburetors,1994-up Carbureted Buell Models and all 1999-up Single Runner Fuel Injected Models - Manual (Page 2)

INTRODUCTION
Installing an S&S® air cleaner on a stock carburetor is simple and
straightforward. Because this modification increases airflow, larger
carburetor jets may be required. Additionally, S&S® air cleaners for stock
carburetors have no provision for the emissions canister purge valve
required in some areas. As a result, installing this product may render the
motorcycle illegal for street use in California and other areas with similar
emissions standards. It is solely the owner’s responsibility to determine
the suitability of this product for his use and application.
S&S® air cleaner kits for stock carburetors are available for big twin,
Harley-Davidson® Sportster® engines and 1994-up carbureted Buell®
models.
• Kit 17-0199 fits 1966-1984 shovelhead and 1966-1985 Sportster®
models.
• Kit 17-0105 fits 1994-up carbureted Buell® models.
• Kit 17-0108 fits 1984-1989 big twin and 1986-1987 Sportster®

• Gasoline is highly flammable, explosive under certain
conditions, and the fumes toxic when inhaled. Be sure gasoline
petcock is OFF before beginning installation, provide adequate
ventilation, and disconnect battery ground cable to avoid sparks
and accidental engagement of electric starter.
• Improperly mounted carburetor may become detached from
motorcycle, resulting in immediate health and fire hazard.
• If improperly tightened or loosened by vibration, bolts, screws,
etc. located inside air cleaner assembly may fall into engine,
causing extensive damage not covered under warranty. S&S
recommends applying Loctite® 242 or equivalent thread locking
compound to threads of all bolts, screws, and nuts located inside
air cleaner assembly.
• Mounting bracket bolt of incorrect length may cause parts
damage not covered under warranty.
• It is the owner’s responsibility to determine if the installation of
this air cleaner assembly is in accordance with applicable legal
and emissions requirements.
• Crankcase and cylinder head vents must be open and free of
restriction. To meet C.A.R.B. and similar standards if applicable,
crankcase pressure must be vented into air cleaner assembly,
not directly into atmosphere.
• Pressure relief passages in crankcase and/or cylinder heads must
not be plugged as gasket failure and oil leakage may result.
NOTES:
• Air cleaner assembly must be firmly supported. S&S includes support
brackets only with kits for stock carb or single runner fuel injection.
Brackets for other applications are listed in the S&S catalog and may be
purchased separately.
• Parts from different year group installed on motorcycle by previous
owners may require different support bracket. Adjustable bracket
16-0471 attaches to center case bolt and lower carb-manifold bolt. It
is recommended for 1983-’84 shovelhead and works on most other
models as well.
• Kits may contain wire ties or metal clamps for securing vent hoses
depending on application.
• A 36" length of hose is provided for race applications. This hose may be
used to route crankcase fumes/oil mist to a catch can or similar device
as required and approved by race organizer.
