I have the Roadhouse Dooleys with stock air filter and want to install a K&N.
What is my best option?\
Thanks

Your best option, IMHO, is to unload the bike really cheap, to me of course, then you'll be RID of the hassles and issues of what to do with the air filter, computer tuner, etc. etc., and all the headaches that go with it!   No more people bugging you everywhere you ride "is that an INDIAN", and all those questions.  Your life will be much easier.  You can take the $2000 (or there-abouts... once we settle on a price of course) and use it for a down payment on a brand new bike of your choice with all the electronics and gizmos, and then the new Cobra pro will do you WONDERS.

If you're not agreeable to that option, then I think Chief's advice is good here - you may not even need a tuner.  If memory serves me correctly, I think Troll did some moderate intake mods, with no tuner (??).  If you do need one, I'm a fan of simpler is better, (usually) and I have not heard any major tuning problems with using the pot system.  Seems like a good way to go

What Griz said sounds right about the drifter not having all the sensors required for the higher-end tuners to work properly.  They use input from sensors to adjust the fuel curve.  I would not recommend trying to make these work.  You could, as Griz mentioned, install all these sensors, but now your talking about engineering not just "installing"...

You may not need a box if you are only replacing the filter and pipes. I did, so I got the Cobra... adjusted one pot... runs great.

Our Drifters lack the many of the sensors necessary for the "on the fly" tuners, so the premapped or dyno tuning are what most opt for. If these sensors were to be added I suppose it might be possible to adapt one of the instant tuners.

I contacted Cobra via email and ask them for the part# for the Power Pro and the answer is they do not manufacter a Power Pro for the Drifter 1500, the only one available is the tri-pot Cobra.
Sure would be nice to have the Power Pro to eliminate tuning even though it is expensive.
