Here is my .02 Your Harley, along with everyone else stock Harley is inherently lean from the factory for EPA and emissions stuff. So, a first upgrade, FOR ME (remember this is just my free .02 worth) would be to get a power commander, PV or FP to richen up that overly lean mixture. So throwing on a replacement K&N filter, assuming they breathe better and flow more air, you are making the bike a bit leaner. Just food for thought.
Makes sense.I followed similar logic when I bought my car (a 2006 diesel smart). In that case, a kid with a fancy laptop came to my home, plugged it into the car's computer box, and - presto! - a serious boost in its horsepower.
Power Commander and the like have significant price tags. Wouldn't it make as much sense to have my H-D dealer recalibrate the fuel injection settings? (Not that that wouldn't be pricey too, but...)

+1 on the power commander, you can pick a PCiiiUSB up for around $100.00
Your bike from the factory runs too lean, which causes heat issues. It will be the best $100.00 you spend on the bike.
And you can always change it to keep up with your upgrades.
