About K&N
K&N pioneered the washable, reusable cotton-gauze air filter and has been building intake products since 1969. On a V-twin, an intake swap is usually step one of the classic uncork — filter, exhaust, then tune.

Its heavy-duty canister construction, combined with dual-stage filtration, is designed to protect your engine while maintaining consistent oil pressure across Harley-Davidson Touring, Softail, Dyna, and Sportster models.
