Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my fuel-injected Harley?

No — this kit is designed for carbureted Big Twins only. Fuel-injected models require a different air cleaner assembly.

How much horsepower will I gain?

S&S rates this air cleaner to add 2–5 horsepower depending on engine modifications and overall tune. Results vary with displacement, cams, and exhaust setup.

What's included in the kit?

The air cleaner assembly, teardrop cover, radiused back plate with air horn, and all necessary mounting hardware.

Do I need to rejet my carburetor?

A free-flowing air cleaner often benefits from carburetor jetting adjustments to maximize performance. Consult your tuner or the S&S installation guide for your specific setup.
