Air Cleaner Intake Filter Kit for Harley Touring Road King Glide (2008-2016) - 10 Spoke

High-Flow 10-Spoke Air Intake Kit for 2008-2016 Harley Davidson Road King, Road Glide (Twin Cam / FL Touring)

What it Does: Replaces the restrictive factory air cleaner assembly with a high-volume, CNC-machined intake system designed to maximize airflow to the throttle body on Fly-By-Wire models.

The Stock Road King & Road Glide Intake Bottleneck

The OEM air box on 2008-2016 Touring models is engineered primarily for noise suppression and emissions compliance, resulting in a restrictive airflow path that chokes the Twin Cam engine. The factory paper filter element is prone to rapid clogging and creates significant air turbulence at higher RPMs, which limits volumetric efficiency. Additionally, the stock breather system often recirculates hot, oily crankcase vapors directly into the intake tract, which leads to carbon buildup on intake valves and can degrade combustion quality over time, especially in high-heat environments.

The Engineering Solution

This 10-spoke kit is constructed from a CNC-machined aluminum faceplate that serves as a heat-dissipating structural component. Unlike plastic OEM housings, this assembly features an integrated internal breathing passage, providing a 'super clean' installation that eliminates the need for unsightly external hoses and banjos. The high-flow synthetic filter is fully reusable—requiring only a simple wash and dry to maintain peak performance. By streamlining the intake path and providing a larger surface area for filtration, this kit reduces the pressure drop across the intake, allowing the Twin Cam 96 or 103 to pull more oxygen for a more complete combustion cycle and improved throttle response across the powerband.

The Harley Davidson Performance Standard

Designed for the long-haul demands of the FL chassis, this intake provides the increased oxygen volume required to maintain power during heavy-load touring and mountain passes. The aluminum construction ensures long-term durability against vibration while delivering the aggressive mechanical acoustic profile expected from a performance V-Twin.

Common Questions

Will this 10-spoke air cleaner fit my 2008-2016 Harley Road King or Road Glide?
Yes, this intake kit is built specifically for 2008-2016 Harley-Davidson FL Touring models—including the Road King and Road Glide—equipped with a Twin Cam 96 or 103 engine and factory Throttle-By-Wire (electronic throttle control).

Does this kit work on older cable-throttle Harley models?
This system is engineered specifically for models equipped with Throttle-By-Wire (Fly-By-Wire) electronic throttle bodies.

Does this intake require external breather hoses?
The CNC-machined aluminum assembly features an integrated internal breathing passage, which eliminates the need for external hoses and banjo fittings for a clean installation.

How do I clean and maintain the filter element?
The high-flow synthetic filter element is fully washable and reusable—simply wash and dry the element to restore airflow performance.

What material is the intake housing made from?
The kit is constructed with a CNC-machined aluminum 10-spoke faceplate designed to dissipate heat and withstand V-Twin engine vibration.
