Default Air cleaner

I bought a 72 (2013) from a private party. He's the second owner and has no clue what's been modded to the bike. How can I tell if it has Stage 1 (or any high flow A/C)?

72s comes with these crome round covers stock so not sure how to tell if it's been upgraded.

I'd like to tune if it has upgraded pipes and A/C. Thanks in advance!!

We'll let you know if it has upgraded pipes if you can post a cell phone picture of the bike.

Look stock to me. Are they loud. Another thing you can do is open your side battery cover to see if you have Vance&Hines Fuelpak in there. But everything does look stock so far.

It is VERY loud... Like you can hear from 2 streets down loud. But I don't have any stock 72s to compare to so don't know.

There is no FuelPak but I bought one.

It also looks like someone did a tank lift and didn't bother to do a very good wire tuck.

Yes, it does look like someone drilled the baffles out. Those do look like stock pipes. Do you get popping on deceleration.

I was concerned about all the wires! How can I fix it??? It looks so bad

And I don't know about popping. I just got it and been riding around the block. I did get Cobra slip ons from a member here so I'll switch them out
