Possibly I'll go down the K&N route,I think this style of filter really suits Harley's!

I'd so miss the "114" on the stock filter. Perhaps K&N insert?

My buddy gatored me into getting this fantastic ride. It's been about 5 years since I've owned a motorcycle and my last one was a Honda vtx 1300. Wow, what a difference. Almost threw me off the back of the seat during the test ride. Was not expecting that kind of power.


Just picked up a 30th FB Really doesn't care about the AE, but absolutely love the color combo.

I think my wife is contemplating taking it from me...

Ohey those are the Mini Grenades. Do you feel any loss of power down low after installing those?

I was thinking about getting those in chrome, fiberglass packing the baffles to quiet them down, and doing DK TTQ 118 inserts to deal with the shorty pipe reversion power loss.

No, I haven't noticed any power loss. I did re-tune with the FP3 and did some auto-tune sessions though. Plus I'm sure the sound increase makes it FEEL better than stock. Ironic, though, I was also looking at those inserts but I don't think they fit the Mini Grenades. They weren't listed on the DK site that I saw.
