Default k&n filter

Has anyone replaced the stock airfilter on a 114 fatboy with a k&n filter?
does it improve breathing or just a waste of money?

Probably improves breathing, probably a waste of money on a stock or Stage I 114".

I bought a K&N filter for my SportGlide to serve as a backup. Running the Ventilator. I like being able to remove a filter from the bike and have a fresh, clean one ready to slap back on that way I don’t have to wait on the one I took off to dry.
