Air cleaner question
I know you have to get a tuner and get the bike tuned if you change out the air cleaner and exhaust. The shop wants to charge me an hour to put the air cleaner on. Not going to pay the shop 95 to put an air cleaner on. They area already going to tune it put the tuner on and dyno tune it. Can I ride 10 miles with the aftermarket air cleaner on it or just ride up to their shop and put it on in the parking lot?
Bike is already running a little lean with the exhaust on it. Don't want to hose my motor by doing something I shouldn't be doing. Not sure the 10 miles would be enough to jack it up.
They also have a pickup service where I can have them pick it up at my house that is also an option. Just have to be home when they want to pick it up.

You are not going to make the engine run lean with the stock AC on it even if you do have aftermarket exhaust. Yes, you can ride your bike the 10 miles (or a 1,000) and not harm your engine on the way to the mechanic. I would not suggest installing the AC in the parking lot.....do it at home. It's a simple job

+1, do it yourself and save $95. i dont know which intake you bought, but when I did the Arlen Ness Big Sucker it literally took less than 20 minutes. Mostly because AN has a good instructional video on their website, so i already knew what i was getting into..
