Which air cleaner is right for me

I have a 2008 HD Night Train (FXSTB) with SE slip on mufflers, I am looking to up grade my stock air filter to a high flow one. However, ther are so many of them on the market, it's a bit overwhelming to pick one that fits my needs. I want performance and style. So, I have been looking at Arlen Ness Big sucker stage one with the stainless steel filter, Roland Sands Design Speed 5 air cleaner, and HD heavy breather. In addition to the filter, I would like to have installed the CV Performance deluxe tuner kit. The qustion is which filter will give me, greater power gain and better throttle respones? I don't know anything about engines so, I am going to have a shop install these for me. Does the shop have to add or adjust anything eles on my bike in order to make these up grades and the engine run properly? I would like to know what to expect from the shop so I don't get played like a fool. thanks

The CV Performance tuner Kit is for Carbureted bikes. The ness big sucker seems like a popular choice for air cleaner systems. I use an older style SE when they still used K&N air filters.

Thanks, for the info. Is there anything eles that I can do to get more power out of my bike, with out having to do any big engine work? In about four years I plan to have the 103ci up grade done, however, that is going to take me a while to be able to afford that.

How much more power do you want or need? You have a 96incher now. Get a tuner with auto tune attached. Then tune it to get the very most out of it. Get to know your bike then ride it like you stole it and that will be all the power you need or probably want. There's always going to be somebody faster or more HP or more this or that.

where is morro bay?

Morro Bay is located in, Ca. central coast four hours south of San Fransisco, and three hours north of Los Angeles, of High Way 1, great place for riding, long open roads with sweeping turns that are angled perfectly for riding or driving. Rideing up Hwy 1, going into Big Sur is some of the most beutiful riding you can do, respectfulley in my opion. As for power, I ride like I stole it, and I think that is the problem. If you ever ran from the law you would know you can't get away fast enough, and I say that with no disrespect to anyone. I say it only to make my point. I don't know the mechanics of my bike, but i do know the power it has and I respect it greatly: if I did not then it would be the death of me. If anybody was satisfied with a stock bike, then thats all that would exist, and you wouldn't have things like SE with K&N air filters, or any other hop-up parts. But, thank you for your advice. I have learned alot from this site and hope to continue to do so. thank you, for your knowlege that you chose to share with me, and others.

I was stationed at Fort Ord in Monterey in '69 and you have some beautiful country all along Highway 1 or even a bit inland on 101. I have eaten at the Nepanthe restaurant below Big Sur and the view is wonderful. Riding on Highway 1 would be like riding on some of the roads here in the Smokies of east Tennessee.

cowboy what company were you in at Fort Ord? I was in the Hospital Company and lived in the first barracks on the corner just up from the "Orderly Room". My wife an I were back out there about three years ago and man has everything changed. Monterey, Carmel, Pacific Grove and Salinas (almost) all run together now. the Post was run down and somewhat depressing but as we drove around the Post, it brought back a bunch of memories.
