    Nice review. I’m putting one in my ST this winter. Nice to see someone with some rounds on to get a real world experience. Congrats on the engagement 🎉

      Appreciate it! My intake is definitely cleaner after installing. Let us know how it works for you.

    Great video, good to see results of a real world test. I was hoping it would also solve the oil consumption issue or at least improve it. My FXLRS is the same, I have to make sure I don’t get lazy about checking the oil level

      According to Harley, “Acceptable oil consumption in a Milwaukee-Eight engine is 1 L (1 qt) for every 2,400 km (1,500 mi)”. That would be 3 quarts between a 5k oil change interval. Fortunately my consumption is way less than that amount. I just check regularly. I also do engine oil changes more frequently than required.

      @@twinsmotogarage1866 Sounds like a bit of a cop out from HD in some ways, that’s a lot of oil. Mine is using about 0.4 quart (380ml) per 2400km.

    I put one of these on my 2019 lowrider that I bought last August!

    Looks like a good solution to the problem.

      @@chip9832 Seems common for M8s. Harley put out a service bulletin saying that it’s normal for an M8 to consume 1 quart per 1500 miles. Fortunately I’m no where near that amount of consumption.
      I put a NOS evo motor in my FXR. I properly broke it in and consumes oil too. I’ve just got in the habit of checking level oil regularly.
