I own a 2009 Electra Glide Ultra Classic CVO.
My questions to you knowledgeable people are ;
Can I wash my standard air filter ?
Is it worth changing to a K & N replacement air filter ?
Many thanks in advance from the Iberian Peninsular.
Hola!
No, you cannot wash the stock paper air filter. You can blow out dirt from the inside with air from a pressurized hose. Is the K&N worth buying is a relative question. After buying 3 or 4 stock filters your price point is even. Yes the K&N breathes more, but unless you plan on doing other modifications, cams, exhaust, dyno tune and such it might not be worth it.
Also keep in mind that the K&N breathes more air because it filters less, at least that's what some comparisons have proved on YouTube. Some say the K&N works best when it's dirty but I don't know about that.
Do they have modification restrictions in Espana? I ask because if they do, a K&N filter might not pass inspection.
Good luck.
