Hello all;
New to the forum, with a quick question to settle a bet.

The factory puts on a chrome filter on most bikes for a little extra "bling" on the showroom floor.

Some of the Blackline bikes might not have it, but generally all of the other Softails do have one, my 07 FXSTC did.

I quit buying the chrome one yrs ago. Not only saves money but chrome will retain heat more than plain metal.. Maybe not much difference, IMO every little bit helps.
