Air cleaner
Looking to replace the air cleaner on my 2020 FB. Have done the exhaust & tuner already. I'm liking the look of the S&S Stealth kit but not sure if it has as much airflow as the stock 114 kit....any input??

So the only reason to change it out would be because you prefer how some other a/c looks, or if you go to a monster build, like a 140 or 150 hp build.

Not looking for more airflow...just want a different look.....was wanting to know if the s&s has at least as much flow.

The stock Ventilator air filter is good for at least 125 hp, with a Stage 1 you're going to be lucky to have about 85 hp, so there's pretty much no performance reason to change it out. I still have my original Ventilator even though I went Stage II long ago, it's plenty for that. Steve Cole showed a dyno chart from a Stage IV Fat Bob here about a year ago that was still using the stock Ventilator. I think the Ventilator would probably be able to handle even the 131" Stage 4 kit.

Cruise control and smell of gas
Hi everyone. I have the 2020 fat bob. For anyone who has gotten cruise control by Harley, how many hours of labor was it? Also, after riding and parking in my garage I noticed the garage has a very heavy smell of gasoline. Have other people experienced that? Is this normal?
Thank you in advance for any help

Hey sugarjunkie, others here have said they have done cruise control in less than an hour. For the gas smell, you should not be smelling gas unless you spilled some feeding the tank. You can expect engine smells but i have yet to notce gas except for when i had been at fault at the station filing up. 2019 fat bob owner here
