I believe you can, many seem to run the combo of all three. I've got an old carbed bike, so I could be wrong.

You can, but I wouldn't. Many people on here run that combination and I did for a while to test it out. I felt my bike ran better with just the X14's and slip-ons.

My air cleaner has a K&N filter. I have V&H pipes and also run the X14iED. It runs great and better than ever. My only complaint is I wish I got better gas mileage.

Let me correct my statement from before. If it is the stock filter replacement, go for it. I did that, but it didn't make much of a different for me, so I would save your money.

If it is the high flow A/C kit, then I wouldn't do it.

+1 - Putting a K&N filter in the stock A/C can does not equal a high flow (stage 1) A/C.
