Default K&N air filter?

Is it worth the $$ for the upgrade?

More air, you clean and replace saving you money and easy to do. Cooler running bike after you get the new download. Get a TFI or PWIII, then you can get the reprogrammed when ever you make a change to your ride ... and you will make changes.

YES to all of the above - Better choise for your BIKE, CAR, TRUCK, BOAT and anything else you can put it on...

They BREATH BETTER - and are cleanable so in the long run can save you $$$

You should get an A/C. You bike will run better. You will have to re-tune your SERT

K&N's are the most cost efficient way to improve power/mileage after pumpin' enough PSI's in your tires!

K&N is American made. Arlen Ness Big Sucker is not. K&N is better quality too! MY opinion.

OK went and bought new K&N filter...ready to make easy upgrade...taking off old SE filter one of the studs came off instead of just the torx nut...tried and tried but had to destroy old filter to get good grip on both stud and torx..bummer wanted to keep old filter...had to use vise grips and lots of heat to seperate the two..WTF nothing is easy..anyway new filter is installed!!! I will give my review of the upgrade if it ever warms up here...thanks for all the advise!!
