K&N's without TORS-Worth the trouble?

Steel said:
If you're looking for a few extra ponies at low cost, there is a tune or two floating around that will give your Touring 30 more hp even with stock intake and exhaust. All it takes is a $20 cable.

I have TuneECU and early last spring I loaded the "Power-Tripp-R3T_stock_or_slip-on" map. I have some other maps for other mods. One of these days I have just got to bite the bullet and do it!!

Thanks for the info all!!

I run the R3T_stock_or_slip-on tune with D&D's and a K&N filter under the seat... Maybe one day I'll get more creative, but I love it!

One of the first things I did when I got it was switch out the stock air filter under the seat with a K&N. I have K&N's on my Kawasaki Vulcan directly on the carb openings under the seat (bought it that way about 10 years ago). Gives a nice kick there.

I went back and found this. That is the look I love!! I've seen kits with the triple filters plus ones for the sensor and engine breather. Been awhile and don't remember how it was supposed to be done.

What's the detail on the TORS you have? If I don't catch them, someone will!
 
If nothing else it makes balancing the throttle bodies much easier with the air system removed. Also gives you a decent box under the seat to hold wet weather gear.

For any real performance benefit need to improve exhaust too.

I gave away a spare set of triple k and n's when tuning a bike some time back because i could not be bothered faffing round with the airbox setup after taking it off.
 
I’ve never heard the chirp and I’m glad but I do hear an intake growl that was very noticeable, and pleasant. I have cut the bear claw and most of the filter elements stick out and are very visible. An aggressive look and sound IMO.

Doc, how did you cut the claw?
