RE: Big sucker pix? Anyone?
I do cover mine with a vinyl shower cap with the elastic around it when I give the bike a bath and I imagine that would work fine if you felt the need to cover it in case of setting out in the rain. Think I bought them cheap for about 3 for a dollar in a package.

I mean, is there a center hole in the ness a/c or not that fits the stock bolt? The football WILL go back on there. Is that true or not?

I'm not a fan of the (large) bolt in the middle of the air cleaner. I much prefer the look of the (small)5-bolt cover with the open element.
Speaking of the open element... Haven't had a problem with it yet. I have been in the rain, but not a monsoon. I don't even cover the thing when I wash the bike. After each wash, I fire it up and take it down the street and back to 'shake' the water off before I take the chamis to it. No problems yet...

What issues could there be for riding in the rain with an open filter? Can they clog up or what?

I'm not familiar with any "large bolt" in the center of the filter. There is a phillips head chrome screw supplied with the insert to mount the insert to the center of the filter. I personally, prefer the one screw approach rather than the 5 screw derby cover look. It's good to have options.

I bought the chrome BS this time and it came with chrome mounting bolts.

I prefer to keep the center design in tact and don't mind the 'derby' cover look. Like you said, good to have options...

I went with 07 Streetbob's option - the flamed HD chrome a/c insert. I'd still like to have the football cutout someday.
