CrossBob
Picked up a new takeoff Crossbones air cleaner from a member on these forums and put it on my StreetBob. I hated the football on this bike but I'm not ready to go Stage 1 or spend the $$ for a Screamin' Eagle set up, so this was the cheapest, easiest way to get a round a/c.
Stock gloss black isn't going to cut it, of course, but I haven't decided what I want to do. Might rattle can textured black to match the engine or come up with some other alternative. Suggestions welcome although I reserve the right to completely reject your ideas.

Thanks for the idea. You must be remembering pics of my bike when I first bought it. I sold the skull gascap to another member here - just not into skulls. Running an aftermarket stock type cap at the moment.
Might be able to adapt your idea to relate to my lil buddy riding on the luggage rack. That's Tramp from Lady and the Tramp. It's my s/o's favorite movie and the house is full of the stuff she's collected over the years, LOL. Her 2000 Lowrider is Lady, this one is Tramp, and my FLHTC is Trusty (the bloodhound).
We've got engraved derbies for the two Dynas coming, hopefully in about a week or so. I'll post some pics when we get those on.

Have a crossbones cover on my arlen ness big sucker. Slap a couple washers between it and the sucker to space it from the tank a bit, vibrations without them caused it to tap the tank ever so gently.

Blah, I thought I was going to see the front end of a crossbones on a street bob from reading the thread title.
You gotta break up the gloss though. It kinda looks outta place to be honest. Not bad though!

Thanks. I'm running the full OEM CB a/c so it's well below the tank. Can't imagine it could hit anything but I appreciate the heads up and will watch for it.
