Hey guys, yes, I have a K&N, it came red, but it's easily removed when cleaned and the filter looks gray. I then oil it with blue oil instead of red.
Drag Specialties filter oil, blue
Thanks!

Not sure what oil you are using but this is my third bike with a open filter and everyone is red after being cleaned and recoiled. I also do it every 5,000 miles are right before a long road trip

Screamin Eagle air cleaner
After farther inspection the Air filter is a Harley dry element filter. So that explains the color thing thanks for the input. Do you guys think that a adjustment in the ECM will need to be change for just putting on a screaming eagle cleaner The bike is a stock 103 2016. Tech's at the Harley shop says that the ECM should be able to adjust for the small change that this will make.Only changes from stock is a set of factory stock CVO slip-ons. Any input will be welcomed. thanks

If you already have slip-ons, and now you do a higher flow intake, you need to have the tuning done. Otherwise the bike will run lean/hot. Personally I'd add a tuner (like a PowerVision) instead of having the dealer flash the ECM.

The oil grabs the fine stuff since if you look thru the filter with a light on the other side, you will realize that anything smaller then a match head needs something to catch on as it bounces thru the medium. Hence the oil film.
Good for your Harley if you use it primarily for a drag strip and you want that last HP out at rev-limiter RPM and figure you will re-ring it after a few dozen runs.
If you use it on the street and want an engine to last, don't really care for the Hover Vac noise, leave it stock.
