Must have Mud style cover!
And since he's not doing them any more it looks like I'm screwed. Does anyone else here do them?
I ordered a stock cover off of ebay but have yet to hear from the seller so I may file a dispute with paypal shortly.
I'm a Marine in Iraq and all I want for Christmas is this freakin air cleaner cover!
Maybe worst case I can try the do it yourself when I get back to Lejeune but I'm not sure I trust their equipment and/or my machining skills.
Are there any similar products on the market that might tickle my fancy?
Thanks guys

I'm going to have an 09 fat bob waiting on me when I return from the deployment 
Oh and the reasoning for this is so I have all my parts waiting on me as well. i.e. Stage I and all the trim pieces I have picked out already.
The only thing to do here is to plan how you're going to spend your paycheck

WS6 Formula is the one who did this originally (I think) and there was a write up on it by Mud. It really doesn't look too hard to do so give it a try when you get back. If you screw it up there are probably thousands of those footballs stuffed in the corner of peoples garages waiting to be exchanged for a five dollar bill.

Thanks for the reply...
I hope you're right about there being an abundance of them, since if I do it myself it will probably be farked up
I'd rather pay someone reputable to avoid the hassle if possible, but if thats not an option I will make do somehow.
Thanks again

I bought one off e-bay to do the same thing. For now I painted the stock A/C cleaner. Once I work out the bugs, I'll let you know. It looks pretty straight forward.

This is the way I did it: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/dyna-...ter-cover.html, difference being I had my drill press on low speed. If you don't have a drill press, you can use another drill motor clamped into a vise or duct tape it to an stationary object:

You never know til you try. I'm in the middle of destroying a perfectly good Street Bob fender. I'll be out about $150 the way it looks right now but it was the only way to verify I have no metal working skills!

Yeah I'm normally a glutton for punishment with this stuff. I'm the one out swapping an axle in a camaro in my driveway in the snow for because I didn't want to pay someone to do it, or wait until the weather broke.
I've since grown out of that though. I enjoy my rest when I can swing it
