Just how bad of a surge is it? I had the same feeling but not like riding a bucking bronco, but more like some one was trying to do it doggie style to the rear of the bike. I have a 2007 1200C with a stage one exhaust and a/c and found that after I hooked up a set of X14iED's all that went away. Just saying.

A K&N is still a "high Flow" air filter so i would think it would the change air flow.
