It depends on the size of your air cleaner, the smaller the more pounds you need to put in... I suggest to use a bigger hammer.

I take the same stance in regards to warranty. My thoughts are, if you can afford $1,500+ for a big bore kit then why worry about a warranty. Especially if you have the skill-set to install it your self.

No, but if you wax your bike with non-EPA certified wax you can't complain that your MPG decreased. Or, if the non-EPA wax makes your gas cap fall off the bike when putting gas and it gets lost- you can't file a claim to get it replaced.

Remember you must use the EPA compliant liquid nitrogen as not to void the warantee. I think all this will blow over in time. Lots of changes coming down from Washington.

Was told by HD dealership here in Canada that slip ons will NOT void warranty as long as the bike is tuned with SEST for the slip ons. The ones in discussion were rinehart 3".

I just purchased (yesterday) a 2018 Heritage FLHCS and the salesman told me with a straight face that they would not void my warranty if I changed the exhaust and had it tuned.
Yeah, right.
