K&N Performance Reusable Air filter for 2014, 2015 and 2016 Harley-Davidson Touring Bike
- Oct 14, 2014
Harley-Davidson® made improvements to the entire 2014 model year Touring family of motorcycles. Perhaps the most talked about change was the addition of liquid cooling to the Twin-Cooled™ High-Output Twin Cam 103™ engine found in Harley-Davidson® Ultra Limited models. The rest of the Harley-Davidson® touring bike family also saw power improvements for their Twin Cam 103™ engines, including a new air filter box which, as Harley-Davidson® claims, increases intake airflow.
While the air filter box used on 2014, 2015 and 2016 Harley-Davidson® Touring models equipped with Twin Cam 103™ engines is capable of increasing intake airflow over the older design, it is still outfitted with restrictive disposable Harley filters from the factory. Owners of 2014-2016 Road King, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Tri Glide Ultra, Electra Glide Ultra Limited, Street Glide and 2015 Road Glide or FreeWheeler models can upgrade to a made in the USA reusable air filter from K&N Performance Filters. Since 1969 K&N performance filters has been manufacturing high-flow washable air filter technology in Riverside, California. A K&N reusable air filter is different from stock in that K&N uses cotton gauze filter media woven to exacting specifications. Cotton, by nature, is more breathable than the paper media used for most Harley filters. Reducing air restriction into your engine can increase performance, acceleration, and throttle response. This boost in horsepower and acceleration can be useful while passing, two-up riding, or towing that pull behind motorcycle trailer. Some might be worried that an increase in airflow comes at the expense of filtration efficiency and engine protection. To put minds at ease K&N performs filtration efficiency testing following the ISO 5011 protocol to guarantee that our air filters will provide high airflow without sacrificing engine protection.
Perhaps more exciting than the increased performance that comes with a K&N high-flow replacement air filter is that they are also a washable and reusable air filter. The advantage of a washable air filter is that it will pay for itself over time. To ensure that this air filter will last for the life of your motorcycle, K&N uses zinc-coated top and bottom plates for excellent corrosion resistance. A K&N replacement air filter can also reduce maintenance costs as they typically allow for long service intervals when compared to a disposable paper air filter. A K&N replacement air filter can be washed and made like new using one of the K&N Recharger air filter service kits. Recharger kit 99-5000, includes 12 fluid ounces of air filter cleaner and a 6.5 ounce aerosol bottle of air filter oil for quick and easy application. K&N Recharger kit 99-5050, differs in that it includes an 8 ounce squeeze bottle of K&N filter oil for a more precise application. Part number HD-1614 for 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 Harley-Davidson® Touring models equipped with a Twin Cam 103™ engine is made in the USA and backed by the industry leading K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®. This means that 2014-2017 Harley-Davidson® Touring bike owners can enjoy a lifetime of increased performance, reusability, and long air filter service intervals when using a K&N performance air filter. The replacement washable air filter, number HD-1614, is designed to provide a lifetime of increased performance without any need for modifications or dyno tuning for the following motorcycles:
2017 HARLEY DAVIDSON FXSB BREAKOUT 103 CI K&N Part number HD-1614 is designed as a direct air filter cross reference for Harley-Davidson® part number 29400045. For all K&N Harley-Davidson air filters visit the Air Filters for Harley-Davidsons page on KNFilters.com. |
