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’.

Cush drive chain conversion kit
2009 and later cush drive Harley-Davidson
touring models can easily convert from rear
belt to chain drive thanks to this new bolt-
on rear chain conversion kit from Twin
Power.
“The chain conversion kit installs easily with
no modifications,” says James Simonelli,
Brand Manager for Twin Power. “Besides
being able to transmit much more power
than the belt, the 100 percent U.S.A made kit
allows easy re-gearing for those who want to
make better use of their 6-speed
transmission. 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.
