Default Re: K&N Air Filters

Check out Woods Performance

High Performance Max-Flow Air Filters for Harley Davidson

I don't know what their pricing is...but I found they offer K&N air filters made to their specifications in a variety of depths (total filter surface) to suit your CFM wants/needs...and IMO you can't get too much of that (surface) until your filter/cover gets in the way of your leg,etc OR just looks ridiculous...right !?!

NOTE: over-sized (depth) filters obviously are'nt going to fit stock air boxes w/o gap between backing plate and cover

Amsoil makes a comparable reusable air filter. With the Amsoil filter you can just blow out the debris w/air compressor and put it back on the bike. Now cleaning, no drying, no oiling. I would suggest you go the Amsoil route.

Hmmmmmm all good info. am gonna save up and do the intake, mufflers and re-map all at the same time. I wanna fatten up the fuel so I dont burn valves when I free up the air intake.

I've got K&N filters on both of my Dynas. Purchased them at Autozone for around $42-45.00. Now maybe the newer style filters might be a little more expensive, but I wouldn't think $80.00 dollars worth.

I am as old as they come is school me is school you. If you have a stock motor and whack the throttle hard, didn't that baby rip right up there without hesitation? Oh, just blip the throttle. Did that cause and effect a quicker rev of the engine? Say, yes.

Now say, "How the heck did that quick rev take care of that car I passed and I sure did not need a piggy fuel trim to help me pass around the car that swiftly."

Say I rely on the crank speed and the throttle angle. I am going to close that loop to the air cleaner change by adding the air intake sensor.

Stock Wise:

1. My crank sensor knows my rpm per split second of your throttle hand.
2. My throttle position is quicker than your eyes can see my wrist blow off a car pull ton nil... Was the throttle response to that sensor in the analog is read my 10th's of volts.
3. IAC my air control is that intake on the throttle cable rip. I am locked down is 3 equals my closed loop variable.

Home school my K&N; did I show how little that air cleaner performs on the cable rip if I blew the throttle plate open on the idle is whack the bike up and rattle some car alarms.

Did I need a piggy fuel trim to the whack of the stock throttle? How much faster do you think that K&N is going to cause havoc on your 3 variables if the very first day that computer bike came out you do not need a piggy crack corn and I don't care. Jimmy crack my throttle plate as fast as you can and did that #3 sensor know your vacuum suck in the K my N?

And it is not, Kiss my Noodle, I need a PIGGY FOR A K&N.

This concludes the air speed portion of the fallacy you need pigs for air speed that happened to event just a tiny bit of a fraction of air speed is not even anything to write home about is WOT my throttle plate did you say?

Think about it. That is all I am saying.

When I modify the intake by changeing to a higher flowing K&N air filter, this will lean out the allready lean mixture, so I will then have the bike re-mapped. I have no lap top and never done a re-map so I am hesitating to change the bike from stock right now...... am waiting for the savings account to build up enuff to get new mufflers...new intake....and re-map all at he same time.
The bike gets dow the road ok, but it aint no ball of fire when riding 2-up.

Think about this when thinking computer bike or just tuning in general. You need more of a concept to understand the lean you "THINK" the bike is in a lean state.

Here is my statement. If I am sustained at a certain RPM, does my constant flow of air at 65mph flow the same speed as the stock air cleaner?

Is not the air sort of stable as to say the throttle is open and remains at a steady speed of air flow. Does the engine at that rpm and mph know if there is an K&N or an OEM at the filter cage?

Did you need a fuel trim at that mph is ask yourself that concept; that fuel ratio; that need to compensate if you are at a sustained speed and now is there a lean condition, yes or no is school you or school me.

Can an engine live in a lean cruise of 17:1 is normal 65mph and are cars bikes overheating at 65mph is emissions cruise lean and did that K&N alter 17:1 to another air/fuel ratio?

Please explain, "Sustain" my K&N/OEM @ 65mph I am lean [is to PC up?].

For those of you reusing the S.E. paper filters take a close look at the element after you clean it.Every one I've cleaned has developed small holes over time & if they are big enough to see they're more than large enough to pass unwanted debris through.
