I have a 93 FXRS, with slip ons. It runs so so (Takes forever to warm up, spits and coughs). Going to dump the bowl to see if that helps it run any better. If it does not, Stage 1 carb kit is next.
Question, do I have to change air cleaners? I Like the stock a/c and KN doesn't make a replacement filter for it, so I would have to change the whole thing and I really don't want to loose the stock cover!!!
Mike
ps I did just put a new filter element in

you can change over to a high flow(back plate and element) yet still retain the stock cover. when your done you'll never know the difference

K&N does make a free breathing filter for your model. I don't know the mfg part number but if you go to J&P you can find it by searching 400-483. Might be able to find it cheaper. This filter is a direct replacement and you won't have to alter your filter backing.
