Clean air is vital to the health and performance of your Harley. The OE air cleaners are usually good, but why not install something that's GREAT? Take a peek a we walk you through a typical air filter and air cleaner installation on our trusty Street Glide, starring once again as our test mule. So many people step into a better air cleaner assembly - see why!

You're very good and to the point! Very good to watch, very good explanations. Very easy to understand. You may feel you repeat yourself a lot, but it is necessary for the unexperienced person. You make it easier for the unexperienced, good job!
Wow, very well put together and very in depth 👏 thanks for this 🎉
Good video Lemmy. As they say in some circles..."Time spent in reconnaissance is seldom wasted" :) Thank you.
You might think about putting a drop of blue loctite on the adaptor bolts so you don't end up sucking a loose screw into you motor .s&s recommends this when installing a backing plate
I noticed that also, I just installed this breather, I blue loctite every bolt.
This is my favorite of all your vids thank you! This really helped me!
Play at .5 speed for drunk lenny.
+Benjamin Barnard HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH XD IM DYING HAHAHAHAHA
I lost my shit
LMAO ROFL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1.5 speed for shamwow guy
OMG it works better than expected
Hope this isn’t a stupid question, but I switched the air filter and the first time I attempted to turn it on it struggled a little bit. Is that normal or will it continue to happen
I don't need to do this, im just watching because this TV series is just entertaining xD
SAME!!!
Lemmy let's grab a beer I owe you big bud. Definitely on others I've watched in the past too!
Lemmy for Prez!
Hey man, great video and pretty informative. I have a 2011 street glide 103, i have a set of slip on rinehart exhaust on her right now, i am looking forward to get the rinehart air cleaner soon, and I don’t know what kind of fuel tuning should I get, what is your recommendation!?. My goal is to complete the stage 1 to gain a few HP if possible. Thank you in advance.
Not sure how you made it that far into this job with an empty glass... cheers!
So you are saying that , with stock exhaust K&N filter will be all that I need if I am happy with stock cover looks.
K&N filters are awesome XD you just wash them out, let them dry (like dry dry not other is still a little bit of water in it) and that you use the K&N air filter oil on it and you have a new filter :D that looks nicer performs better and will cost you less in the end ; )
Great Tutorials.
Really find them helpful. I am installing a Kuryakyn air filter on my Harley twin cam. Blackline.
To compliment the Paughco Up sweep bell tip pipes I also just installed. Dealer is doing that one.
I am a one to two beard guy at best. They are talking powder commander and dyno testing.
I will look for anything you have out there on power commander installment and use etc.
Have 2008 night train . Can I change the original air breather to a spike or a double spike and the bike being fuel injection does anything else have to be done ?
What size socket did you use to take off the banjo bolts? I know I need a deeper one for my 2017 Iron 883 and I think it's a 16mm, but I can't get my not-so-deep socket in there to find out.
I found the answer. in case anyone else had the same question: it's a 9/16 deep socket.
@@GreatEgret thank you I was working on mines today and didn’t have the right socket
@@malzziymw you're welcome. I'm glad it helped out!
Great video! I have the same exact motorcycle same year and color. What did you guys put on the denim black? It looks like it has a little more gloss than mine. Thanks
Genuinely lovely video !! Wow ! Well done, appreciated ! Might add "watch not to 'bang' the tank"!
I have a "14" HD Softail Slim, I just put V&H Short shots on it. Really liking how the S&S looks to keep it old school looking. If I do get the S&S Super, can I just drive to my local dealer and have them do the tune up work or do I just need to get a fuel pack? Note: All I did was throw the pipes on thus far. Bike is bone stock except for the pipes. Thanks guys
+Erich Collins It will likely be cheaper to get the FuelPak 3 and install it and an air cleaner yourself than to pay the Harley Dealer to do so. Plus, you'll be able to easily tune the bike if you make any other future changes. -DrewZilla

I figured on doing the labor myself to save cost, just got done watching your video on the FP3, that little gem seems amazing, thanks again
Will I have to re-tune my 2015 street glide after installing an aftermarket air breather?
Also my bike keeps shutting off at stop signs or lights when in down shift into first. The. O have to start it up again. Oy does this when its starts to get hot idles very low
Great video 👍I would like to know your suggestion regarding whether I should go for replacing the stock air filter with K&N filter or with full air assembly , I would keep my stock exhaust and use FP3 for tuning which I already have.
So recently I broke my gsxr 600 k7 bike apart for a new paint job and stator regulator (oem parts) change. I have change almost everything to new in the bike since I'm the second owner and don't want to run into problems. Recently after putting my bike together iam experiencing electrical issues. the bike will start and run good but soonest I turn it off it won't turn back on until hours later.. any tips ??? I am totally new to the bike world everything I learn it's from the manual and your channel. my nearest bike shop charges $200 to check plus what ever needs to be change...
That's a tough one, which I don't think we can diagnose via UA-cam. Instead, I recommend posing your question on any of the GSXR forums, perhaps a forum for racers, as racers are more likely to have had to fix their bikes. -DrewZilla
Great Video... Thanks!
I did notice the cheap Stanley Phillips Screwdriver.
That tells you how often you use a Phillips on a Harley :-)
I have the same year bike and the vacuum nipple behind the air intake has nothing on it ,seems to run fine if I put my finger on it, it runs like shit
Thanks, now I'll be able to replace the Fat Bob's air filter.
Great job Lemmy!!
Hi Lemmy, just watching you whizz off those breather bolts, unfortunately attempted the same job on my 2013 Breakout today and could only remove one of them, the other one is rounded off. Any suggestions for the best way of removing a stubborn breather bolt that seems to be loctited and mega tight? Keep up the good work man!
+Barbara Palmer Lemmy recommends welding a piece of stock onto the bolt. That should melt the thread locker and provide leverage to twist the bolt. If you don't have a welder or don't know a weldor, perhaps you can cut a notch in the bolt head and use a flat head bit with a socket or breaker bar. -DrewZilla
Mine doesnt have the air filter cover bracket. Where can I get one?
What if mine cover doesnt have any bolts have u heard of that do i just pry it off.
do you need a computer to tell you what size jets you'll need to balance things out with the new air filter and cleaner? or will the air filter/cleaner come with a recommendation on what size jets should be used with that particular filter/cleaner? basically can I do this on my own?
No, you don't need a computer. Carb tuning is a lot of trial and error, so it's best to buy a handful of jets and go from there. If you give us the bike, year, specific carb, your location/elevation, and all modifications, we might be able to get you close. -DrewZilla
I just bought a 2016 Iron 883. Out of curiosity, i took off the slip on pipes and just running straight pipes. Will that damage my bike over time?
+Josh Brolin Possibly. You're certainly increasing airflow without the slip-ons, so you're likely running even leaner than the bike came from the factory. That's not the best for good engine life. Lemmy's written some great Moto 101 articles on exhausts and fuel management, so I definitely recommend you take a look! -DrewZilla

HD mentioned with word performance always makes me chuckle
Are you adding any thread locker on certain bolts or screws if so what type
Can you remove airbox on 2016 Street glide?
You don't need thread lock putting that cover back on? I guess I waisted good thread lock on my '14 SG.
I’ve just installed a set of Cobra Neighbor Haters on my ‘18 HD FLHR and have ordered a K&N HD1717 air filter. Do you recommend a retune/fuel pak?
If you were just doing the slip-on exhaust, you wouldn't need to re-tune. With the air filter as well, you're increasing air flow enough that you'll probably want to increase the fueling with a Fuelpak. -DrewZilla

Hey, love your presentation of the product and procedures. i have a question about how to make custom adjustments for if the throat of the air breathers don't' fit. I tried a body hammer to slowly tap it into shape and it began to ovalize it, which was expected so i stopped after the smallest amount. I even did a cross section hammer style as if building a spoke set up wheel thinking it would work. Suggestions?
You should probably consult a service department to make sure you aren't causing any real damage. -DrewZilla
RevZilla that has no assistance what so ever.
Are there any advantages to replacing the entire air cleaner? Vs just adding a high flow filter? Besides cosmetics? Thanks
It's mostly aesthetics, but an air cleaner with a larger filter element/more surface area can increase flow more than one designed to fit a stock cover. -DrewZilla
Thanks
You're welcome!
I love how Lem is on the clock but still gets to drink 😂
Hi,nice video. Can air filter or harley high flow cleaner are sufficient with FP3 for stage 1?; Or should i use heavy breather ?
Any stock or aftermarket air cleaner is sufficient for the FP3 with stage 1. -DrewZilla
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Laughed when i heard "not that much money for an airfilter" Because most are 350-500, a decent chunk of change if i might say. But i had a question. If I get the Fuelpak FP3 and use it for my Iron, and lets say i eventually get a new set of pipes and use it for that. Can i use the FP3 to tune it for a new air cleaner as well? Or do i need to get that other expensive Fuel management system as well? WHOOPS never mind that... Just noticed that the FP3 was on the fuel management section. Though still, will i be able to Select the Air cleaner modification, like you do the pipes, in the app.
+Ace00731 Yes, you just go into the app and select the air cleaner when you add an air cleaner, put it in auto-tune mode, go out for a ride, accept the changes, and you're good to go again. Every time you make a change, you just auto-tune it again. Easy. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla awesome, thanks! And thanks for the quick response as well.
I am looking for a video on installing spike air filter on Suzuki m109
I have a 16 harley 48 and just added vance and Hines short shots and I wanted to know if I can add a k&n filter so I can keep my stock housing will that work thanks
Yes, you can add a K&N filter under your stock air cleaner cover. See the link below for the correct air filter. -DrewZilla

Lmao jack and ginger break. Love it
Great video! Thanks!
Between a 1 and 2??? I wonder what is considered a 1 then 🤔
I am looking for a video on how to replace my stock air filter with a K&N air filter on my 2006 Dyna Low Rider, would you happen to have something. Thank you.
We don't have install videos for every specific air cleaner, but your K&N filter should include detailed instructions. -DrewZilla
Video are very helpful
I miss Lemmy he gave me the confidence to do anything
Do we need to make changes in the mapping of ECU after installing new after market air filter on any bike?
If you keep the stock exhaust and only change the air filter, then generally, no, you do not have to change the ECU fuel mapping. -DrewZilla
Hey Lemmy I have a Honda shadow rs and I'm looking for a matte black air cleaner kit, can u give me some suggestions please. Thanks
***** so if i get the cobra powrflo intake system, would i need to remap the fuel control and if so what exactly does that mean?
You don’t show adding oil to the filter being put on.. I bought a new heavy breather kit... do they come pre oiled?!
Yes, they come pre-oiled. Also, some newer designs don't even require re-oiling. -DrewZilla
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
Can you install a filter from a road glide onto a sportster?
The filter itself may be interchangeable in some years when talking about stock air cleaners, but the backing plate and all mounting components are not.
-Zack
What is the brand name of the Air Filter & Cleaner you're installing and does it fit on a 2010 Softtail Fatboy?
In the second half of the video, Lemmy installs an S&S Teardrop Air Cleaner Kit, and yes it fits a 2010 Softail Fat Boy. -DrewZilla
*www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/ss-teardrop-air-cleaner-kit-for-harley-efi-big-twin-2001-2017
Which torx do I need to remove the bolts of the stock filtration element? Thanks in advance
It might depend on the year, make, and model, but your service manual will specify the size. -DrewZilla
Can you use the stock crank breather bolts with this kit?
Is this filter replaceable or need to be cleaned?
The filter is reusable and would be removed and washed/re-oiled periodically according to your bike's maintenance schedule. -DrewZilla
That's the first time i've heard an American use the word "knackered"!...
So can I use a better air filter and stick it inside my stock air filter cover to finish up a stage 1 kit. Obviously I still have to rejet.
Yes, you can indeed do that. Just make sure the new air filter is designed to fit the stock cover. -DrewZilla

do I really need to tune up for an air filter and a set of pipes???
Generally speaking, yes. Stock bikes tend to run lean, and installing a free-flowing air filter and a set of pipes tends to make bikes run even leaner. Fuel tuning gets the fueling back up to the correct air-fuel ratio. -DrewZilla

S&S Teardrop = sexiest air-cleaner out there.
I have 2013 fatboy, and it comes with sensor on the stock air intake, so if I decide to change the stock one then I have to disconnect the sensor then the result will be check engine light will switch on, so how can I fix this issue?
+Faisal Al-Eidan If you're referring to the MAP sensor, that should be on the intake, not the air cleaner itself, so changing the air cleaner should not affect that sensor. -DrewZilla
+RevZilla what's I mean, if I want to change the full air intake kit, how can I solve this issue?
+Faisal Al-Eidan I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Why do you want to remove the entire intake? -DrewZilla
If I remove the entire intake there is sensor behind it sticked to the intake.
Revzilla if I put a Vance and hines big radius exhaust on my 06 Dyna custom .am I ok w my stock intake with a k&n air filter? I have a tuner installed already
You don't have to change the intake or filter, but you will very likely need to retune for the characteristics of the new exhaust. -DrewZilla
Thank you drewzilla ..Theres so many opinions it's hard to make a decision .but I'm gonna go on what u say..
You're welcome! -DrewZilla
Thank you bro 😎 🥃
15:46 ApprAAHHHximately lmao
Does Revzilla carry air cleaner gaskets for my 2013 iron 883?
No, we do not currently have air cleaner gaskets. -DrewZilla
Can a bike come with no breather hoses??
New Harleys all come with breather tubes. Some other bikes might use PCV valves that vent differently, but generally, a crankcase needs to be vented somehow. -DrewZilla
Great job!
Someone please explain what happen when this get wet? That is not good for engine tho?
If your filter gets too wet, water will be drawn into the intake and into the engine, which is definitely not good. If you have an exposed air filter and ride in the rain, you need to use an appropriate rain sock. Rain socks are available to fit most air filter models. -DrewZilla
Thanks
what about this dreaded oil mist on sportsters 2007/2008 show us how to install a horseshoe air filter kit, that would be food man.
Get rid of whisky bottle man, not the place for it alcohol industry makes enough money not to mention shouldn't endorse alcohol and bikes together we've lost to many brothers with that. Good info on bike tho.
It's ok. It's for entertainment purposes 👌
Do I need to use loctite?
Bill Molash Yes, most air cleaner installs require Loctite. Consult the installation instructions for your air cleaner. -DrewZilla
RevZilla Thanks. Don't need stuff falling off.
Absolutely on adapter plate!!
I blue loctite every bolt
wanna install heavy breather. any help?
The same procedure from this video applies to a heavy breather. -DrewZilla
