My steed is an '08 RKC 96" with V/H twin slash oval slip ons. It also has a S/E stage one kit with its matching download that was done several years ago by the dealer. The S/E air filter sits behind the factory football cover. The bike runs perfect, no decel popping, pinging or any hiccup whatsoever. I did not like the look of the chrome football cover, so after doing much research I went with Arlen Ness Inverted A/C. What I noticed about the new air filter is that the filter element is exposed 360 deg. that being said, would it draw more air causing a leaner fuel mixture which would force me to take the bike in and have the dealer do a new stage one download, or am I good to ride with the existing stage one. Thanks....Oops I just saw the title, sorry for the double EE in cleaner.

 

should be good to go

the air flow is determined by the motor's demand, unless restricted by an air cleaner/housing/filter etc.

both the air cleaners you mention have the capability to flow more air than the motor can demand.
