K&N ‘Shaker’ adds to their ‘Street Metal’ air cleaner options Following last year’s successful launch of their Big Twin Aircharger (“for bolt-on power gains”), Riverside, California based K&N Engineering has added several further designs to its range of OE replacement performance air filters and air cleaners for Harley applications, including fitments tuned for the 2017 M-8 engined Tourers. Fitments include their improved usable surface area 1717 air filter with injection molded top plate and base plate, incorporating stock vent tube inlets and velocity style entry radius for a smooth delivery of airflow. Added to their ‘Street Metal’ intake system options, the ‘Shaker’ (seen here) is a “nostalgic styled” cast aluminum, high volume intake with “exaggerated sanded fins.” Delivering improved power and torque, the oversized high-flow air filter “gives excellent filtration and long service intervals.” Available for fuel injected Softails and Dynas from 2001 to 2017 and ’08-’16 Touring models, the built- in dyno tuned velocity stack directs airflow to the throttle body and is available in black satin and satin silver finish and mounts with an integrated breather system. Also new this year, their RK series of oversized high-flow air filter and backing plate, with dyno-tuned velocity stack and integrated breather system, retains the stock air cleaner while providing a “guaranteed” increase in horsepower. An oversized K&N high-flow air filter, a custom aluminum backing plate, integrated breather system and a bolted in, dyno tuned velocity stack and long service intervals are backed by K&N’s ‘Million Mile Warranty’.

Plus, swapping the rear belt to chain drive is far less work than changing a broken belt. You don’t need to remove the swingarm.” Simonelli adds: “Look for similar high-quality kits for Sportsters, FXRs and Dynas soon.” The kit comes with a 24-tooth transmission sprocket and 51-tooth rear sprocket, equivalent to the stock gearing. They are made from heat-treated tool steel and Grade 8 hardware. The hub is made from high- strength billet aluminum with a factory-type black finish. It is assembled with bearing and spacer and is ready to install. Both the 55-tooth and 58-tooth sprockets are available separately. A 530x120 link chain is recommended, but not included, and must be cut to size, allowing the end user to choose a chain based on their personal preferences.
