Air filter question
This is likely a dumb question and I'm pretty sure the answer is no but....the stock air cleaner on an 06 Super Glide....is it washable or just a throw away and replace? Also, if I went with a K&N, would I need to have the fuel injection remapped? It still has the factory exhaust and factory air intake. Thanks!

RE: Air filter question
See Dougs response. Apparently I am incorrect about the stock filter. [sm=bustedsign.gif]
Aftermarket ones like the K/N or Big Sucker are washable.
If you go with a high fllow a/c your going to need to remap. HD's run to lean as it is.

hold there!!
.
The stock air filter on an 06 FXD is washable. Page 121 in the Dyna owners manual explains:
"The paper/wire mesh air filter element should be washed in luke warm water with a mild detergent."
Blow dry it with low pressure air, from the inside of the filter,or let it air dry.
DO NOT use air cleaner oil on the Harley-Davidson paper/wire mesh air filter element.
Hope that answers your question.

I just put my stock filter back on, after running the K&N full flow kit for 2 years. The stock filter only had about 1500 miles on it, so wasn't in need of washing. Guess I better have a spare ready, before I give mine a bath.
Jay, looks like you may be right about tossing the OEM filter................ anyone else know????
