Changing air will void the warranty. Both bikes facing out it will be March soon.

Do you have to have the stealership hook it up to the digital technician to change the air out? Or is this something that can be done at home?? I hope so because i just bought a summer air chuck for my compressor!

A buddy of mine sold his Tri Glide. He wants to give me his leftover Summer Air. Can I use that in my Electra Glide Classic? Do I need high elevation air if I plan to ride in the mountains?

No they are not interchangeable. Reference section 13.B.2f
Bulletin; I just found out the water that drips out of the exhaust must be refilled if it runs out.

Harbor Freight makes a decent and cheap circulator. I think there's a $50 coupon as well.

That summer air is lighter so it'll make the bikes go faster.

I just went with the Kuryakyn air, cheaper and it works just as good as Harley air.

I just found 5 cans of "AMF" summer air I musta bought when I had my '77 FXE. Would it still be good? And will it work on a '06 Ultra?

You need to smell it. If it smells like fart, then it's no good.
