Just purchased a 2016 Dyna Wide Glide and I have a question about the 103 high output motor. It currently has the stock high flow air cleaner. Would there be any benefit to adding this K&N intake?



Here is the bike;

 

Definitely. You've already got pipes installed so that's a bonus. More air is always a good thing.

 

You would be better off getting a good 2into1 exhaust. Your loosing power with the short shots.

 

Don’t have the funds for that at the moment.

 

Be prepared to spend $400 for a tuner.
Intake will make it run lean. Dont ride without tuning it

 

I just added a K&N air filter to the HO intake and vented to atmosphere on mine. 2 to 1 Cobra exhaust and FP3 tuner...bam! Sounds and runs awesome!

 

Might just keep it as is for now then. Runs and sounds great. Not sure what the previous owner did, if anything.

 

Whats the benefit of venting to atmosphere and how do you do it?

Thanks

 

For EPA reasons, hot, oily, oxygen depleted crankcase fumes are routed back into the air intake. Not good. Venting to atmosphere ensures getting a colder, denser, intake charge, also keeping the intake cleaner. Here's how I did mine. After removing the air cleaner cover and air filter, remove the factory rubber hoses from the breather bolts. Then I drilled 2 - 1/2" holes in the backing plate. Using 1/4" ID 1/2" OD fuel line, attach the 2 hoses to the breather bolts and secure with collet clamps. Route the hoses through the backing plate using a little silicone RTV to seal the back side. Then I attached the 2 hoses to a brass 1/4" to 1/2" T, and added a K&N 1/2" 62-1330 clamp on filter to the bottom of the brass T. There are other ways to accomplish the same thing. You could use a catch can rather than a clamp on filter, or simply route the hoses to the ground. There are also screened breather bolts available. I believe Fuel Moto has kits for doing this.

 

i remember when my WG looked close to your bike. Enjoy.
