Morning!

08 SERK w/ Bub 7's... Bike was tuned before I bought it and runs great.... I want to add the Roland Sands http://www.dragspecialties.com/fatbook/10/6/7716939 air filter kit... Do I need to dyno and retune??  $350 for the filter and another $300 to dyno may make my decision right there..

Thx!

What do you have on the bike now for an air cleaner?  The stock air cleaner & filter or something like the HD Stage 1 or the Ness Big Sucker?  If you have the HD Stage 1 or the Ness BS I wouldn't think you need to do anything.  The Ness has bascially the same K&N high flow filter that the Roland Sands does.   But if you are replacing the stock air cleaner you may have to re-tune due to the increased air flow.

Right now it is the stock setup that came with the SERK



I really didnt want to ahve to return it...  I wasnt really looking for the performance,  just the look..

Since it is a stock restrictive filter, you should re-tune since more air may create a lean condition which is something you don't want.

If you take off the stock air cleaner and replace it with the Roland Sands you should definately have the bike retuned.  Otherwise the it will probably be running very lean.

The stock filter on a SERK4 is a SE A/F. It's already an open filter assembly, so changing filters shouldn't cause issues. I don't think that RSD A/C will flow drastically different than your SE A/C. I'm a believer of tuning to your EXACT setup, but I doubt you'll really notice much, if anything, unless your tuner is SO good that he can tweak any lil change to your setup. Most won't spend that kinda time tuning.

Wrong O buckaroo... The '07 SERK's came with the SE A/C but the '08s SERK's dropped and went back to the plastic casing just like the stock touring models.  I bought a SE A/C for my '08 and it is NOT THE SAME...  Just like the '07s came with flush mounted gas gauge and flush gas cap, the '08s did not.

Sorry to disappoint you Hoist.

You gotta be kidding?!!! They didn't provide the SEAC with the '08's like the '07's? Cheap bastids! Thanks for the correction Dan!

Cheap is not the word I would have used, but it works.

Yes, when I bought the new bike I had read about all you guys getting the SE/AC with the bikes.  $149.95 later I had one too.  I've gotten rid of the bike now and I still have the SE/AC.  I guess I should get with it and put all my "left over" stuff up for sale.
