I got curious after reading a couple of posts here and was thinking of some stuff I had that may work to 'bolt' a K&N to the HD assy.
These are sanitary fittings I bought when I was building my moonshine still and for beer brewing equipment.
They feel nice and firm and don't move once positioned on the HD flange. They are too thick to fasten the filter clamps, but I think by making a relief grind in the conical part of the flange would allow the clamps to be secured.
These are SS and are 1.75" where the filter would attach. And, they would give over 1/2" of clamping space where the filter would grab on.
Haven't worked out how to maximize velocity yet. A filter of 2.25" tall is ideal for this particular piece.
