Question OE 114 Ventilator Air Cleaner to K&N RK-3954B

I will be swapping out the OE 114 air cleaner for a K&N RK-3954B kit. Bike currently has a Fuel Moto tuned PV and V&H's Hi Output slip-on's. Not seeking/expecting performance gains but does anyone know if the K&N kit will alter the fuel mixture further? The OE 114 A/C is a nice flowing unit alone so I'm not certain there will be any appreciable difference in flow. I have lifetime tune tweaks from Fuel Moto if things go awry with how the bike runs.

Reason for swapping A/C's is I hit my knee on the Ventilator unit.

I seriously doubt there's much difference in flow between the two units.

Just run one auto tune session and call it good. Won't change much but worth the time imo

Just email jamie at fuel moto to see if there is a different map they would use for the kn air cleaner. I doubt it, but u got the pv from them it is worth asking.

I have the 107 Fat Bob and the Fuel Moto unit is much smaller and less obtrusive. I barely touch it with my leg now, and before I had to rest my knee and leg on the side of the OEM filter.

I wonder if there will be enough flow from the Moto Fuel Air Cleaner to supply my future Stage 2 upgrade? Anybody know?
At least I don't have that Yuge '107' on the side anymore. Its embarrassing to have all the fellows know I'm riding around on a girlie bike since they only put a 114 in all the newer Fat Bobs.

More than enough.
The highest HP stage2 cam for a 114 is the Woods 222, at 119HP.
The SE Ventilator aircleaner can support engines all the way up to 120~130HP.

Also there's nothing girly about having a 107. Stop making things weird and about your *****.

I was only being sarcastic about the 107, I love it, its a beast. The 107 is more than enough power/torque for most grown men.
Now having said that, its still not going to prevent me from upgrading the cam, but that's just part of the fun of owning a HD.

Oh I see, you were having a dig at the other folks who base their manlyness on the size of their engine.
