Default Air cleaner with no tune ??

My 2013 RK runs just fine ... has cat less head pipe and python slip on's.
Sounds great runs great. I do not want a tuner but would like a better breather option for the look. I hate the big ol cover.

Anyone have any options on this ??

Here is my bike

Usually it goes if you do one or the other you don't need a tune.

Once you do both the AC and exhaust you will need a tune.

How important is your bike to you? Obviously looking at the bike you care about it and cherish it. Get the tuner Bro. Do not want to be running to lean.

Ride safe and smart brother. Be safe

1.) not all bikes need a tuner- most do.
My pal runs a 2011 FLHTK with air cleaner and a V&H header/muffler system. No tuner. runs great...he is edging up on 40,000 miles. admittedly a rare case

2.) many of us use nightrider.com xieds/veids. under $130 ( I do)

3.) the air cleaner cover hides a very ugly plug and wiring...have a look at that before you choose a style that leaves it exposed. I use a Ness Big Sucker intake, which uses the stock cover- to hide that plug

What he said!


Click HERE for many choices on A/C's


Going with FL-XiED-10 is easy, inexpensive, and will make the bike run a bit better. Click HERE for more details.

Below is a pic of just one of the air cleaners shown in the link above.
