HOW TO: INSTALL AN AIR CLEANER ON YOUR HARLEY! Vance & Hines VO2 America with exhaust sound!

[@bcbsilverhawk8426]

Just ordered 2 of these style filters. My wife and I are both Army Veterans. We both ride also. Ordered the Military Power Army version. Have been browsing you tube for install videos. This is the best install video I’ve found. Thank for posting. Take care.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you for your service!

[@mikespeaks6038]

that was one of the best install videos I ever seen.

[@MarkG104]

looks like that cleaner makes it easy to run the breathers down into a catch can rather than back into the intake. I had to get creative with my 107"

[@killdozer3464]

Yeah I saw that. I had to really go DIY on my 110”. I really want this, and it will be so easy to just hook up the hoses I already have.

[@mluna383]

Just called my local HD dealer. He said they looked badass. He hadn’t seen them. He called his vendor and ordered 4. One has my name on it! Thank you that looks badass and can’t wait to install it. Guess I will need that tuner also

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome glad you were able to get one!!!

[@mikekovacs5392]

Your Low Rider IMHO, is one of the nicest looking bikes on KZbin. Don’t ever get rid of it! Kidding, you can do what you want but I really like that bike!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you so much!!

[@banderah-dag-rideforyourhealth]

Great job Heather, you do better install video instructions than anyone I’ve seen. Keep up the great video content and keep riding!

[@MotoBlonde]

Appreciate that!!

[@hj1smith]

Excellent vid so much fun to do it yourself. Your instructions were clear and concise Beautiful bike. Let's ride

[@MotoBlonde]

Appreciate it!

[@christophertaylor5286]

Very Nice install. Thanks for sharing

[@tyronemoore4830]

Thanks for the info on this install video I just put this air cleaner on my 2021 Low Rider s and I just bought the Pack FP4 to tune it with Thanks again your videos are awesome 😎

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome!!!

[@cag31011]

One thing I noticed, there's a bracket to support yor throttle body. You don't have that, could cause you an issue. My brand new bike had a leaky intake plenum and didn't know it till it was replaced/upgraded.

[@SweatyWalrus]

I am in love with your accent! Excellent video, thank you!

[@raulcorrea9923]

Nice video ,well explained 👌

[@mike50cal.26]

Hi Heather, great job on the installation video! Fits right in with the LRS.

[@MatheusXJapan]

Amazing video! Greater teacher! 🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@angusterrasson5480]

Cool as filter . Have you looked into adding a external breather kit to your bike for better health and performance 👍

[@roberthicks7761]

Love watching you work on your bike

[@bikerbrinrac]

Very classy looking air cleaner 😎👍 Pro install job. That's cool you have a tune kit that comes with it too. I've never seen that before. You can hear the better suction. Great vid 🎥 Yes your Vance & Hines pipes look and sound great too. It's a sweet ride.

[@douglasradowick508]

Hey MotoBlonde, at the 14:42 minute mark-love those biker boots! My sister is 5' 3" tall and I am thinking of teaching her how to ride. Thanks for being an inspiration to women of all ages (young girls of single digits age to ?-however old) that a female can be feminan & ride a bike! Keep being a motivator for women and girls alike to follow their dream of "biker chic-hood"! Doug🏍️🦅👍❤️🇺🇸

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you so much, I appreciate that!!

[@BoDean52]

Great video Heather and I am an FP3 fan myself. Ride safe

[@life_behind_bars]

Very nice! That looks great! Now I did cry a little when I saw you hook up the internal breather tubes. Come on Heather the EPA isn't watching, and there is no reason to suck all that oil saturated, oxygen depleted air back into your motor. I expect your next video to be on installing an external breather kit with a catch can 😉. Great video as always 👍👍

[@NVARider]

That's pretty bad ass. I am not seeing it for my ride but I may be too late. Oh well. Happy with the one I installed. Cool video!

[@ANONYMOUSBIKERUSA]

well done! looks sweet! nice 360 camera work too! ride on MB !

Thanks AB!

Looks sharp Moto great job . I know you was talking about a different bike but that one fit you good. I love my bagger but miss my dyna for around town . Good stuff chic. God Bless

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks Roy! I hear ya!

[@ocglide2566]

Another nice video. $500 for the Air Cleaner!!!! Although it looks nice I think I will have to stick with my SE high flow intake. .

[@whskywolf]

Nice looking air cleaner. Have fun and be safe.

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

Love the design! Another great install. I have new pipes to put in my bike, so nervous to put them on by myself. I break things.....

[@MotoBlonde]

Oooh new pipes!! I wish I was closer we'd have a garage day!

[@Wind.Road.Therapy]

@@MotoBlonde damn girl could you imagine the laughs, we wouldn't get anything done!

[@Nrgpack]

Hey Moto Blonde, that was a nice solid video, but I still don't understand why Harleys need so much upgrades? Your garage/install videos are great!!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you! They don’t “need” them but it’s like anything else, gotta always make it bigger and better 🤣🤷‍♀️

[@Pie37912]

That vance&hines air filter with the flag on looks freakin' awesome!! Great video as always 😄

[@streetglideyp2375]

Her 2 wheels got the road glide girl I also traded my low s for a 2021 road glide and its amazing just doit as they say. Did enjoy the intake install though I may go that route

[@FLHXDUDE]

Love the video. Beautiful bike. I have the FP3 as well. I have a stage 2 right now, S&S cam chest upgrade. I don’t think I’ll be able to use the FP3 for my 124 I’m doin…. Keep the vids coming👍🏼

[@Jeff82556]

Too late for the nice T-shirt you're wearing. V&H is out, except for size SMALL. Nice video... again, always feel happy after seeing your lovely precious face, thumbs up! Go girl!!!

[@MotoBlonde]

Ah man! Thanks for watching!

[@ChaseJasperDown]

Very good tutorial! That flag is sick!

Great job. Bike is looking great.

[@kdtons4670]

I have forward controls on my FXLRS. Do you think that this air cleaner would interfere with my right leg? Please and thanks.

[@timdavis8154]

Always like your videos. Have you thought about an external breather for your bike.

[@SmittyAZ]

I thought it was a requirement for owners of new Harleys?

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

Do they make the vance & Hines filter in chrome.

[@MotoBlonde]

I’m not sure about this one but they have lots of options for all of the different styles.

[@smilingbiter]

Your mechanical demonstrations are one of the best on KZbin, keep up the great work!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!!

[@scruffycavetroll7547]

Put a v02 rogue & Fuelpak 3 on my dyna a few months ago. Love it

[@MotoBlonde]

[@virgilastacy5281]

Just started watching your channel like to see someone take the initiative to work on their own scooter I ride a 99 Softail with a 80"Evo 83k miles on it haven't to much work on the OW (the other woman)lol it's my baby Anyway keep it between the mustard and mayo and rubber side down GBU later

[@mb3131]

Moto Blonde, great video! I just installed the same one on my 2021 Fatbob! The blacked out American Flag is awesome. The instructions for Softail models require a throttle body induction bracket for support. I just ordered one so will have to remove and reinstall when I get the bracket. Don’t want you to have any intake leak issues so wanted to give you a heads up. Have you installed a bracket since shooting the video? Your bike is badass!! Great videos…keep them coming!

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

That's a KA breather! Gonna try and see if I can get one for my 18 RoadGlide...thank you

[@rschris]

Hey you ever think of running an oil catch can instead of dumping that blow by oil into your carb to your cylinders ?Ive heard that build up on the top of your cylinders will rob you of power over the life of the engine.

[@DownTheRoad66]

Very nice looking AC!

[@carlomonaco2130]

Hi Heather, just an FYI from a Harley tech, if you should have any issues or check engine light and have a need for a dealer, with the Vance and Hines fuelpak installed the powertrain warranty on your bike will be voided. Once the bike is hooked up to the Digital Tech to read the codes, it reports to H-D the there is an aftermarket tune installed. Just wanted you to know.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks Carlo! Appreciate that

[@carlomonaco2130]

You're welcome! If you ever have a question about anything just ask away. Oh, and, loved the latest video, test ride a street glide, they are a bit lower to the ground, and there are a lot of lowering options available. Also glad to see Anthony up, around and riding!

[@amberfanning6571]

That looks awesome!

[@StMichaelProtectMe]

Late in the game on commenting. Did you have to do a dyno tune after swapping out the air cleaners? I have a '22 Lowrider S. Love what you've done with your bike 😉

[@MotoBlonde]

I already had the FP4 tuner, so I made the selections in that. If you change the pipes and the air cleaner, you definitely want to get a tune on it. 😁

[@StMichaelProtectMe]

@@MotoBlonde thanks for your reply! I knew I had to do that when I swapped out my exhaust, but wasn’t sure about the air cleaner because the stock ones on the M8 Softails are already high flow like the V&H.

[@MrTraewilliams]

Looks great is it smaller than the Arlen Ness one you had on?

[@MotoBlonde]

It doesn’t stick out as much!

[@virogue007]

Super dope video! Would have loved to hear the bike and not only music during your ride! Stay safe and cheers from France! ✌🏻

[@MotoBlonde]

It was too windy for the 360 camera - it cuts out when it gets up to speed for some reason! thanks for watching!!

[@scott_0492]

@@MotoBlonde Your Welcome #MBNATION

[@fatheadbiker-stuff9722]

I have a question. Do you have to leave the tuner plugged in or take it off when you're done? Very informative video. Thanks.

[@BlinkingKillswitch]

The tuner has to be removed. It works by having preprogrammed tunes installed on it. You can see that she unplugs the ECM from the engine and plugs up the tuner. She pics the tune she wants from her phone and the tuner then tells the ECM the correct fuel mapping for the pipes and air breath. She then removes the tuner and plugs the ECM back into the bike and viola. It's done.

[@fatheadbiker-stuff9722]

@@BlinkingKillswitch What about the auto tune feature?

[@BlinkingKillswitch]

@@fatheadbiker-stuff9722 From what I understand that actually stays connected between the ECM and the engine. The auto-tuner is programmed with how you want the engine to perform and it'll change the fueling depending on the air that comes in and other factors. I'm not too entirely familiar with that particular device though.

[@brianb9950]

Did you have a tune on your bike already with just the exhaust upgrade?

[@anthonyr587]

Is there any point to install an air cleaner without a stage 1/ new exhaust system already upgraded? Will you get any benefit?

Something is missing..... There should be a bracket from the breather bolts to the induction module to support it. An intake leak is pretty much guaranteed, without it.

Great video but I like the factory filter better even though it was free !!

Not more power. Check with experts. Intake manifold and head can only handle so much air flow. Don’t waste your money.

[@Kenn1969]

Wait…what??? Why would you put it all together and then tighten the bolts behind everything?? You could have installed the backing plate, then the rest of the stuff. The directions showed that, even I saw it. Just saying. 🙄🤷‍♂️

[@MotoBlonde]

The directions explain it exactly how I did it - if you installed the backing plate first, you would have to put the filter, spacers, screws, nuts, and cover on and tighten everything with it on the bike. It's much easier how I did it (making the sandwich and then just tightening the hex head screws) as the directions showed. But there are always different ways of doing things🤷‍♀️
