<p>That is a &quot;Who hasn't?&quot; question. Helping the engine to breathe is always good and a worthwhile investment.</p>

Im using the DK Customs 587 air cleaner. It seems well built and it was easy to install. I don't have a before and after power comparison because I haven't done any dyno pulls. I do wish they made the mount about 1/2 inch lower so I could use my bobber cover but that's a minor issue to me. I would buy it again if I were in the market.

I have a 2015 Street Bob. I can run the bobber cover that comes with the kit if I run the cutout up. If I run the cutout forward like I feel it should be the cover hits my tank before I can get it on. I am not using the xieds or the vieds. I have a power vision I tune my bike with.
