Sport Glide Air Filter Trim
My 2020 Harley Sport Glide has been a fantastic ride in the 5000mi I've owned her. Looking to get rid of the "sauce pan" air cleaner trim. Many of the chrome and natural catch my eye, but I do not want to use the SE tuner and would prefer a "low" air flow filter until the warranty is over, then go with non-OEM tuner. Are there any nicer looking air filter trim covers that do not require a tuner? Also, bike is stock except for Rhinehart muffler.

If you've already installed a slip-on exhaust, and are planning to put a new air cleaner, you really should get a tuner. Your bike will be running lean and hotter than it should be. The SE is the only one that won't void your warranty. If you invest in the tuner, then you can actually buy the air cleaner you want, rather than wasting money on a decorative cover for your stock cleaner.

No he does not "need" but he already has a free flow exhaust and putting a high flow AC on there is going to cause issues in the long run as he is already very lean in his fuel mixture. Also very likely he will throw engine codes due to the fuel/air mixture.

I thought that running a less restrictive exhaust and OEM intake did NOT lean the fuel mixture. For those that have facts on this please chime in.

This is how it was explained to me by multiple mechanics both dealer and indy and the reason why I am not completing my stage 1 till now since my warranty expiration date is 8/17
