K&N Motorcycle Air Filter PL-1720 — High-Flow Washable Filter for 2020–2026 Indian Models, Reusable

The K&N PL-1720 is a washable, high-flow motorcycle air filter engineered to increase airflow for improved throttle response and sustained engine protection without frequent replacements.

If you ride an Indian Challenger, Pursuit, Chieftain Powerplus, Roadmaster Powerplus, or compatible editions from 2020–2026, the K&N PL-1720 is built to fit precisely while delivering long-term value. Constructed from layered oiled cotton gauze with custom sealing beads, this filter aims to balance increased air delivery with particle capture, and because it’s serviceable, it reduces recurring filter purchases and waste.

How does the PL-1720 improve on-stock airflow and performance?

The PL-1720 is designed to allow a greater volume of air to the intake than typical paper elements, which can help the engine breathe more freely. That improved flow often translates to crisper throttle response and a potential uptick in acceleration feel under normal riding conditions.

• High-flow cotton gauze media for increased air volume.
• Oiled filtration layers that trap contaminants while maintaining flow.
• Engineered to work without mandatory fuel-management changes in many setups.

What makes this filter durable and serviceable?

The filter uses multiple bonded layers of premium cotton gauze treated with a tack agent to capture dirt, plus a robust frame and seals that match OEM mounting points. When dirty, the element can be cleaned, re-oiled, and reinstalled, extending the filter’s usable life versus disposable paper units.

• Washable and reusable design reduces replacement frequency.
• Specialized tacking agent improves particle capture in the media.
• Sturdy construction resists deformation during handling and service.

Will the PL-1720 fit my Indian motorcycle model?

PL-1720 is application-specific and manufactured to fit a range of Indian motorcycles from 2020–2026, including Challenger, Pursuit, Chieftain Powerplus, Roadmaster Powerplus, and select Elite/Dark Horse/Limited packages. Fitment is designed to match OEM sealing points for straightforward installation.

• Compatible with 2020–2026 Indian Challenger (including Elite, Dark Horse, Limited variants).
• Compatible with 2022–2026 Pursuit and 2025–2026 Chieftain/Roadmaster Powerplus versions.
• Precision sealing beads and custom seals for an OEM-style fit.

How do I maintain the K&N filter and what are the upkeep benefits?

Maintenance involves cleaning with a compatible K&N filter cleaner, a rinse, and reapplying the specified K&N oil to restore filtration efficiency. Regular service intervals depend on riding environment; in dusty conditions clean more often, while cleaner roads extend the time between services.

• Clean with approved filter cleaner, rinse, air dry, then re-oil per instructions.
• Reusability lowers long-term replacement costs and environmental waste.
• Visual inspection of the seal and media ensures reliable performance.

Who is this for: The K&N PL-1720 is aimed at touring and performance-minded riders of compatible Indian motorcycles who want a durable, reusable air filter that can increase intake airflow and offer dependable engine protection. It’s a solid choice for riders seeking an OEM-fit, serviceable upgrade that reduces recurring filter purchases and supports spirited highway and backroad riding.
