How often do you change the air filter o a 2006 SE Fatboy or any other Harley?

Spend a few dollars up front and get you a K&N filter. You just clean it, re-oil it, and put it back on.... never have to replace.

The stock air filter is supposed to be inspected every 5000 miles, and if it is dirty it should be washed in warm soapy water, dried, and reinstalled if not damaged. It only has to be replaced if you can no longer get it clean, or it develops tears or other damage. Best bet is to replace it with a K&N oiled cotton gauze filter, still have to clean and reoil but it's guaranteed for 100,000 miles and it flows much better than the stock washable paper.

Thanks for the information. I have 7,000 miles on my SE Fatboy and need to now look at changing the airfilter. I will purchase the K&N as I am quite sure it is much better in quality and performance.

Thanks,
