Standard. That was already on my bike with the K&N from doing the FM Stage 1 (unless they suggest or need to use the extreme, but they didn't say that)

I had the ventilator extreme on my bike when they built my 128, they had concerns about it and suggested I use their X-large ventilator filter with stock cover but since I had already spent the money on the extreme I said let’s try it and see how it does, it performed great so I kept it. I’m sure they will steer you in the right way if anything different is needed.

Default Se 131

I bought a 21 CVO Road Glide last year, at the time of purchase I had the dealer install a 131. I went this direction, knowing I was leaving a fair amount of power on the table, in order to maintain the factory warranty.

Overall, I'm very happy with the performance. One thing I'd like to do for the spring is adjust the throttle progressivity through the SE tuner to improve throttle response. Once the warranty expires, I'll consider adding a cam and aftermarket tuner.

As an aside, the best upgrade I did was upgrading the suspension to Legend Revo ARC in the rear and the AXEO in the front--way bigger impact than anything else I've done.

ProAction is the very first mod I do to any bike I own.

It's really difficult to understand just how bad the stock suspension is until you've upgraded to a good aftermarket solution.

Looks like your bike already has the ventilator air cleaner on it from the picture. Did you mean upgrading the the ventilator extreme air cleaner? Its a much better air filter and flows way more than what's on your bike in the picture.

Yes... After talking with FM, I did purchase the Ventilator Extreme.

Soundz Audio and New Boom GTX is also being installed right now.

Also putting on my seat that I got a month or so ago from meancitycycles. Figured I got my bike out for the audio upgrade, I might as well toss the new seat on too.

Spring Isn't coming soon enough.

... I don't... I'm working it out with the Soundz Dealer right now. I'm going to get the Boom II Equipment put back for now. They agreed to refund my $$ and swap the system back. Is it louder then the Boom II stuff.. Yes it is. Is it worth what I paid, no way.. I was very unimpressed. I was streaming some music I like and it really was unimpressive. It was like it's missing most the mids and bass. (I know it's a a bike, it's not going to have huge bass) This is sitting parked in my garage as it's winter. It's VERY loud, but that's it. The sound quality "to me" is not impressive. He played some songs that I never heard and cranked it. It was just ear bleeding loud to me. All you heard was the mid to high notes. The Boom II Sitting still sounds better to me. I'm going to go to the Audio guys meet-n-greet here by in June. I'm going to listen to some systems and get some ideas. Some of the other things... I didn't know until the install was done. You lose FM almost completely, because of the Sounds AMP in the fairing. (I still do use FM here/there). They won't honor your warranty if you use the Speed Control Volume.. I LOVE the Speed Control Volume. They say, if you are parked at a light and are jamming tunes, then take off quick and the SCV ramps the volume up, you will blow the speakers. Also, they claim there system is tuned for an iPhone streaming Amazon Prime Music, because they say that is the highest quality equipment and music service. Well maybe that's true, but I use an Android and Pandora. I'm not changing phones or music sources simply for a system in my bike. I don't know... I just was not impressed, and now I have a very sour taste in my mouth over all this. Maybe over the year of debating I set my expectation way to high. . If that system was $1500... I wouldn't be questioning it. But not at what i paid.

I am keeping the updated Boom Box GTS. But the Soundz dealer was nice enough to offer me a refund and swap the systems back out. Had I waited till spring, I don't think they would have. Bummed..!!
