Default Heavy breather
I have a stage 1 kit on my road King, but it has the stock football cover on it still and I can't stand it! My question is, if I were to spend the money and put an after market heavy breather on my bike would I have to get it retuned again? Thanks in advance.

Pretty sure you won't need another tune but I'm sure others can confirm/deny.

If you have a "Stage 1" as you call it, already installed on your RK, you can go ahead and change out the air cleaners and exhaust systems as many times as you like without having to re-tune the ECU.
