Default Stage 1 installation

Just recieved my Stage 1 air filter and Fuel Pak, and this is my question...how difficult is the installation of the air cleaner??&nbsp\\; Im a firefighter, so I know just enough about everything to be dangerous..can I do this myself or should I have a "real" mechanic do it??&nbsp\\; Any input appreciated!

Being a fireman you can definately do this. 20 minutes max if you reread the directions for the aircleaner. The fuelpack will probably take you another 20 minutes. Just take your time and enjoy

Go for it.&nbsp\\; If you know which end of the screwdriver to use, this should not be a problem.&nbsp\\; as always, read the directions, take your time and enjoy wrenchin' your own stuff.

Fuel Pak was a pain to fit under the seat on my fat boy. Hated the results it gave to. Better than nothing if you like sputtering. Tech support couldn't help either.
