Using this K&N air filter is easy. First, make sure your motorcycle is turned off and cooled down. Locate the stock air filter housing on your Harley Davidson. Open the housing and carefully remove the old air filter. Place the new K&N air filter in the housing, ensuring it fits snugly. Close the housing back up. That's it! As for maintenance, check the filter regularly, especially if you ride in dusty or dirty conditions. You can clean the filter using a K&N filter cleaning kit. When cleaning, follow the instructions on the kit. Let the filter dry completely before reinstalling it. Always store the filter in a clean, dry place when not in use. Also, keep in mind that if you notice any signs of damage to the filter, it's time to replace it.
