but none of that is an advantage when we ride in these places !!

I have now run them all in my M8, Denso Iridium, SE Iridium, and NGK Iridium.

No codes, no pings, no differences that I can see in mileage nor performance.

Default Hd1717

Installed the K&N HD1717….. and one of the screws cracked the casing! I knew I should’ve hand tightened! It says 45 inch pounds in the instructions. I was waiting for the touque wrench to click, it never did. Calling up tech support and they are sending out another

I read about K& N torque problems, but I never torque little screws anyway.

Did you install the washers? I did not and had the same issue.

Threw a Khrome Werks full system on the '23 Road Glide. Talk about a PITA! I also ordered an air cleaner for it from Khrome Werks, but come to find out, it's not compatible with the new throttle body on the 121. I threw the stock air cleaner back on for now, maybe I'll go with the Screamin Eagle Heavy/Extreme breather.

Now to use the Pro-street Tuner and fire it up to see if she sounds like a real Harley!

Personally have NEVER been a fan of this look @ ALL.
But this big ugly beast has been destroying the competition on dyno comparisons....
And imagine the air it will grab @ highway speeds!
