I'm looking at stage one kits, which is the best hi-flo HD or Ness ?

 

K&N. Better quality.

 

I like my Ness Big Sucker but i really have nothing to compare it to besides stock.

 

I have the SE kit and like it. Cleans with water.

 

Ness big sucker will save you a few $$$ and comes with a K&N filter.

Personally I like the Doherty Powerpacc, i have one on my Fat Boy:

I have the HD kit on my RG as it was on the bike when I bought it.
I have the SE heavy breather on SERK as it on that bike when I bought it.

 

Back in 2001, when I bought my first Harley, someone told me K&N made Harley's hi-flo setup, I don't know if they knew what they were talking about or not.
