Product Information

The SLOT21 is engineered as a minimal, high-flow intake solution for Milwaukee-8 Softails, replacing the bulky OEM air cleaner with a compact carbon-fiber composite assembly.

Its 21-slot face provides multidirectional airflow, improving engine breathing and throttle response while maintaining a sleek, low-profile appearance that won’t interfere with knees, tank bags, or accessories.

Internally routed oil passages ensure proper circulation, while the KM-378 reusable air filter provides consistent performance and simple long-term maintenance.

Each SLOT21 kit includes all required gaskets and mounting hardware, allowing for straightforward bolt-on installation using the factory backplate.

Designed and assembled in Houston, this intake delivers both performance and aesthetic refinement for modern Softail builds.

Innovation Meets Passion

Made in the USA

Founded in 2013 by Mike Le, Kinetic Motorcycles was built on a simple belief: motorcycle parts aren't generic hardware — they're personal. Every product begins as an original idea, designed by Mike and developed entirely in-house.

We don't rely on templates or outsourced shortcuts. Each part is shipped by hands-on fabrication experience and time spent riding, testing, and refining. Whether you're dialing in a daily rider or building something truly your own, our focus is the same — create parts that feel intentional, functional, and worthy of your motorcycle.

What Our Customers Say

Really happy with the product. Took a while to get my order but they were out of the spark plug cables I ordered. I had to email and inquire what the deal was. They were super helpful once I initiated communication. Would have been cool to get some swag or something since they took so long. But the relocator is great. I really love it. And they responded promptly once I reached out to them. Their customer service is truly fantastic.

I had some questions on some bars, so I DMd them on Instagram. The dude I talked to was super helpful. I purchased the shirt because of his response. I’ll rep the brand due to the customer service.

Precision-machined and bolt-on perfect. Took 30 minutes to install and the difference is night and day.
