Default Air it out!

Gentleman, it has been awhile but I see everyone has made it so far! I have rising the 97 Ultra Classic like crazy. Just over 92k on her now. My question is this. The stock air cleaner filters are getting more expensive all the time. I have the MM EFI with American Custom mufflers. I run the medium baffle always and I am wondering if the Amzoil air filter might make it run to lean?? Any help with this would be great. Thank you!

In my little mind your engine is only going to take in just so much air.

With no other changes I'd think it would be just fine.

Get the K&N filter and stop throwing them away. Just spray it with 409, rinse, dry, and then spray some K&N air filter oil on it. Rinse and repeat every 5k.
