If you have something like this then you have the high flow backing plate, etc.

I would assume you have a download if it runs good.

Round filter would indicate a SE stage 1 A/C.

You should have been asking this question before you rode it for a year and a half. Does it run hot? Are the plugs coffee creamer brown? Have the pipes blued badly? Are the inside ends of the exhaust a nice browniish color? Surely the previous owner would have done something. Nothing under the seat?

Have the stealer check it.

No, nothing under seat. I don't trust stealer to look at it. It has 15000 miles on it now. By the way this is my first Harley, and I guess I didn't/don't know everything I should.

Before i did cams i purchased a v&h fuelpak. That cleared up all the decel pop. It ran cooler and ran better. It piggy backs on top of your ecu. Pretty easy install and programming.
