You know... if you change it every 3-5000 miles i say a K&N is a waste of money...run it with synthetic for 10000 miles then it may be worth it... Not saying K&N is crap...on the contrary K&N is a excellent product...I personally don't think it is warranted in a engine like Harley... i think a plain HD filter or Wix or Napa , wal mart, etc....is sufficient...You are fine to put it on your bike i guess if you want to use it
