Default Screaming Eagle or K&N?

I'm looking for an air intake system but I don't know which to choose. Any imput on which is better? Will going with a non Harley part void my warranty on my 2010 FLSTFB?

If you are that concerned talk to your dealer first. I vote for a K&N as it can be cleaned and will last forever. The S?E filter itself has been known to come apart and get sucked into the engine.

You can't beat a K&N, and the SE is a flat out cheap POS...

K&N on my 08 Heritage, my wife's 05 Deluxe, my 07 4 Runner and my wife's 06 4 Runner. I think that pretty much tells you what I think of K&N.

Funny you should say that... the other week I was swaping a friends on out for a K&N and I was looking at the carb thinking what is up with that black crap all over it? It was the rubber portion of the SE filter coming apart and it was on a 2010 model? WTF?

K&N is a quality product. The price is not bad either.
