Review on 🔧 Spike Turbine Air Cleaner Kits for Harley Touring FLHR FLHRXS FLHTCU FLHTK FLHX FLTRU FLTRX 2017-2019 & Softail Air Cleaner 2018-2019: A Comprehensive Review by Tim Hodzic

SportGlide. Good to have on hand.

Came in good packaging. The actual air filter and assembly appears to be well done. The filter itself does not appear to be pre-lubricated with oil; and it doesn't look like it's a dry filter or a wet filter like K&Ns usually do. Also, there are no instructions so you'll have to install the Roland Sands turbine on YouTube if you can't figure it out. The BIGGEST MINUS, the only thing that 2 people have already looked at this product for, is the two screw vent cover. That's 1/4 inch more than the 2020 Sport Glide. You will need a cutter or grinder to cut it to length. I twisted one too short but I did it with a washer, no big deal; better than flicking the inlet. I made a drain for it by drilling through the aluminum and it was easy. UPDATE: After 100 miles I noticed very little dust residue on the air cleaner rubber around the perimeter that wasn't making good contact with the base. To fix this I put a drop of liquid sealant around the rubber part of the air filter and let it sit overnight. After that, I started lubricating the filter so I wouldn't remember the oil contamination while installing the gasket.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
