Harley Street 500 & 750 Can Be Equipped With a Reusable Performance K&N Air Filter
- Jun 5, 2015
The Harley-Davidson Motor Company has faced a lot of competition from Japanese motorcycle manufacturers for decades. Harley has maintained its grip on the more affluent purchasers of heavy-weight cruiser motorcycles; however the Motor Company was missing an opportunity to capture the attention of younger buyers. With smaller motorcycles from Yamaha and Honda taking a bite out of the Harley Sportster’s sales, the empire strikes back with a line of smaller, lighter, more affordable motorcycles, the Harley-Davidson Street family. The Harley-Davidson Street line, available in 500 or 750 cc versions, embodies Dark Custom attitude with liquid-cooled Harley-Davidson muscle built to conquer the urban world.
When developing the Street 500 and Street 750 motorcycles, Harley-Davidson broke away from many of its traditional characteristics. The most notable departure from traditional Harley engineering is the liquid-cooled V-Twin engine used in the Street Family. While a liquid cooled twin has been used in the Harley V-Rod line for years now, the Street 500 and Street 750 motorcycles use an all-new architecture. One of the main reasons for the liquid cooling and overhead camshafts, was the ability to squeeze additional power out of a smaller package. The Harley Street 750 produces power on par with its main competition, however owners of Harley Street 500 and Street 750 models should equip their bike with superior airflow and superior performance gained by installing a K&N high-flow replacement motorcycle air filter.
In addition to the improved performance that results from the high-flow design of K&N replacement air filters, the pleated construction allows K&N air filters to go longer than stock filters before servicing is required. Plus, the ability to wash and reuse a K&N replacement air filter will save money on parts and maintenance over time. K&N replacement air filter HD-4915 is precision engineered to replace the factory disposable air filter and air filter backing plate of 2015 and Harley-Davidson XG750 and XG500 Street models with simple installation behind the factory air cleaner lid. Installation of K&N replacement air filter HD-4915 does not require additional modifications for fitment or improved performance. Just as they would when installing a factory Harley air filter, Harley Street owners will need to reuse the rubber gasket which seals the lid to the backing plate. Dropping in a K&N replacement air filter is one of the most straight forward and easy performance enhancements that 2015 and 2016 Harley-Davidson XG750 and XG500 Street owners can perform.
K&N designs its replacement air filters to achieve a balance of superior airflow, filtration efficiency, dirt capacity, and superior performance over the stock disposable filter. K&N replacement air filter HD-4915 is designed to provide excellent airflow without sacrificing filtration efficiency.
