V&H VO2 X Air Intake Chrome Softail 18-22 (Will Become V72345)

The Vance & Hines VO2 X is a bolt-on air intake for Harley-Davidson Softail models, finished in chrome. It replaces the standard air cleaner assembly with a high-capacity washable filter element behind a CNC machined billet cover, opening up airflow to the V-twin while giving the right-hand side of the bike a cleaner, more purposeful look.

It suits riders chasing a straightforward induction upgrade with a finished, showroom-style appearance rather than an exposed filter. The kit arrives as a complete assembly, so it is a practical first stage for a bike that is being built up with exhaust and fuelling changes.

Please confirm the fitment listed in the specifications against your exact model and year before ordering.

Fit the intake with the engine cool, following the instructions supplied in the kit; leave the breather assembly connected as designed rather than blocking or omitting it.
Use the supplied ARP hardware and tighten fasteners evenly to the torque figures given in the fitting instructions — do not overtighten into the cylinder heads.
Re-check the cover and mounting fasteners after the first ride, then periodically as part of routine servicing.
Inspect the filter element at each service and any time you have ridden in dusty, wet or gravel conditions.
Clean the washable element following the Vance & Hines instructions supplied with the kit, and allow it to dry completely before refitting — never fit a damp element.
Do not run the engine without the filter element installed.
Clean the chrome cover with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry it off; avoid abrasives, solvents and harsh degreasers that can dull or lift the plating.
After riding in heavy rain or washing the bike, check that no water has been driven into the intake and that the element is dry.
If you are changing the intake alongside exhaust or other engine modifications, have the fuelling checked and set up by a qualified technician.
Store any removed standard air cleaner components clean and dry in case you need to return the bike to standard.
