I like the looks of it, but does it actually flow decently?

I may add a tuner and head pipe but want to keep the stock look.

 

big sucker or screaming eagle with the round air cleaner and backing plate , not the snorkle type, uses the stock football cover , but flows a lot better. Actually bought my first one becuase the are re usable, just clean and reoil , live in a dusty are and 2 new stock air filters covered the cost of the big sucker, got them on all my bikes now. short answer , yeah they help, and save you money in the long run.wr

 

Your stock air cleaner is good enough unless you're going to do extensive engine mods, K&N does make a replacement filter that flows slightly better.

 

You may want to consider going with a Free Flowing Air Cleaner that vents externally, like one of the Outlaws 587 or 636v, which do not allow the dirty air back in.





The EPA has required Harley to route dirty, oily crankcase air back into the air cleaner compromising the performance of your engine. The Outlaw Breathers vents it without compromising the performance or longevity of your motor.

Thanks for the info.

 

You are most welcome

What about just routing the oil mist to atmosphere? Is the 110 basically the same as the 103 in this regard?

I think I'd rather do that and keep the stock filter and housing.

 

Yes, you could route it externally, we have two kits that would allow you to do that. The DIY Head Breather System, you can use this kit or we also have one that comes with the Braided Stainless Steel Hose. It will help your bike to run a little stronger and your engine will definitely thank you in the long run.

So your saying no modifications to stock exhaust like slip-ons or else you need to use a tuner?

 

I believe you can add slip ons and be fne. Modifying the intake and allowing more air in causes a factory set lean condition to get worse, that's when a tune is required. My understanding anyway.......

I think my plan is to get a tuner and a map for stock configuration. Then at a later date decide if or what I may change. I really like the look as is so I may only had a de-catted head pipe to reduce heat as well as flow better. If I can just replace the filter element and keep the stock look, that's the route I'd prefer.
