Default S&S tear drop A/C

Has anyone tried to adapt a tear drop air cleaner cover to a S/E back plate? A wrinkle black one would probably look great on My BOB.

I would agree that it would look great on your bob, i have one on mine but its the S&S kit. I dont know how easy it would be though.

I did it a couple of months ago.

I took a grinder and cut off the tit inside the air cleaner lid.

Then I made a bracket with 18 gauge sheet metal.
It was shaped like the letter Y, and it had a hole drilled in the middle to screw to the OE air filter bolt.

I then used my Marsden thread setter and installed 3 inserts for the S&S screws that hold the lid to the bracket.

It looked OK, but would interfear with my leg as I road, I have a big Zippers air filter though.

I took it off after a month or so, my engine runs better without it.

It can be done!

I can post a snap shot of the bracket if you want.
