Default Softail Slim 103ci : Which Intake is Preferred?

Looking to soon do an intake on the bike. Already have Vance and Hines Short Shots and more than likely going to do an FP3 tuner. Looking for the favored intake for these engines, wanting to see if the $$$ for a Screamin' Eagle is worth it or not. Thanks.

Fuel Moto stage 1 a.c. assembly is what I use. I picked up a se cover for free, and can use the stock football cover you want. Plenty of air and a kn filter.

Get what fits your eye, they all flow more than your engine will use until you get deep into it.

I love the Arlen Ness inverted series. I plan on getting one for my Fatboy. I saw them on a couple bikes at the dealership and they look amazing. Fit and fishing is top notch and the filter is reusable lifetime. . Best looking air intake ive ever seen.

DK Customs has quality stuff at a good price. If you are just doing pipes and air cleaner then just go with what looks good to you...as stated earlier, they will all flow more air than your 103 needs.
I built the crap out of my 103 and DK's 636v still flows more than it needs.

Agreed, get the vent kit from Kevin at DK too.
