You may wish to hold off, I heard they don't have the bugs worked out on the 2015 cold air formula. Higher ratio of argon adding excessive weight to the front end, causing quicker than normal tire wear, and bad handling. I was told HD is ignoring the problem and there is a class action suit being filed

LOL! No joke.........I worked at a full service gas station back in high school/trade school. We had a regular lady customer that would come in about once a week for gas and had her oil changes done as well when it was needed. She drove a fairly new Mercedez and thought she needed IMMEDIATE attention when she arrived. The head mechanic got tired of her **** and told her that she needed her air changed in all tires. She promptly said do it but hurry up. While she sat in the car blocking the service bay, he unscrewed the valve stems and deflated all 5 tires (spare too), told her that they needed to bleed out for at least 15 minutes before pumping them back up. The really funny part was that she came back in the spring to replace her "winter air" with "summer air" but it was the owner that was helping her. He just laughed and told her that someone had played a joke on her because of her self-righteous attitude. Needless to say, she was pissed................

Watch out - my buddy works at HD and told me that the SE Air is just HD-branded Japanese air. That's right - the same stuff that they're putting in those ricer tires!! So, you put that stuff in your bikes if you want, but I'm sticking with good ol' US-Made air.

Just make sure you remain consistent. Don't mix-n-match. Don't put fall air in the front and winter in the back. Either Fall air all around or Winter air all around.

lol, exactly what I was thinking! 
They tell me if you put those green valve stem caps on you don't have to change air. It is apparently "all-season" air then!
