Just wanted to say hello. Picked up my Iron a few weeks ago this is my first Harley and I am thouroughly enjoying it.
Just on 1000km on it now it has the SE Slipons, SE Stage1 round aircleaner with the Dark Custom Plate on it, Tank Bra and the SE Pro Tuner.
I have just one question though. The white air filter supplied with the kit is starting to turn pink / orange??? Is this normal or should I be worried?
Is your air filter one that is oiled? My K&N filter has an orange/pink oil applied to it after I clean it, so it does have a tint. Mine is an old SE filter from 1991, and it uses a K&N filter element. I've cleaned and re-oiled it several times. Also run a K&N in my truck and it gets the same treatment.

No it is not K&N it is as white as snow with fine mesh just like the K&N. I've used K&N before and this one is defo not one. I'll take a picture tomorrow and post it.
