A FACTORY SERVICE MANUAL WILL BE HELPFUL IN PERFORMING THIS
INSTALLATION. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PERFORM THIS
INSTALLATION IF YOU ARE NOT CONFIDENT IN YOUR

ABILITY TO COMPLETE ALL OF THE STEPS IN THE

PROCEDURE; CONSULT A TRAINED TECHNICIAN. IMPROPER

INSTALLATION COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH.


Some of our high performance air cleaners extend beyond the
stock/OEM unit to achieve smoother air flow and better
performance. Riding position may be affected, so it is important to

familiarize yourself with the new riding position.



Proper tuning is important. We recommend fuel injected bikes
should be tuned with a TTS MasterTune tuning system (calibrations
available at www.kuryakyn.com), or by an experienced tuner, on a

dyno, with an exhaust gas analyzer. 2007 and later Harley Twin

Cams run especially lean combined with retarded ignition timing.

Lean conditions and/or retarded ignition timing will cause high

exhaust temperatures and discolor chrome exhaust.




STEP 2

Remove the stock air cleaner so that the air intake is completely exposed.

Replace OEM breather bolts with new Breather Bolts supplied in the kit.



STEP 3

Remove the backing from the adhesive backed gasket and install on the face of the throttle body.

Be certain the holes in the gasket line up with the holes in the throttle body. Refer to PIC 1.




STEP 5

Test fit the aluminum breather to the throttle body, note how the holes line up with those in the

air intake flange. This will help you in the next step.




STEP 6

As shown in PIC 2, thread the straight hose fitting in to the left (rear) side of the aluminum

breather. Thread a 90 degree angle hose fitting in to the right (front) side of the aluminum

breather.



STEP 7

Mount the provided breather hoses to the hose fittings on the aluminum breather assembly. Test

fit the complete assembly to the throttle body, connecting the open end of the hoses to the

breather bolts from Step 2.



NOTE:

Modifying or cutting the hoses may be necessary in order to ensure that kinks or tight

bends do not limit/obstruct the air flow. On the right or front side, ensure there is no

obstruction to the pull or return of the throttle wheel. Place the supplied cable ties over

the crankcase breather nipples and crankcase breather bolts to secure both ends of the

hoses.
