Default Mud mod air cleaner cut pics

allot of people have been shooting me Pm's asking about how we cut our air cleaners we have been doing for our customers... It is simply the mud mod that Mud showed us on here a while back... only difference is we powder coat them for our customers...

first we cut it out using an air tool


then we clean up the edges on the belt sander till it is perfectly round


we also like to bevel the edges as well so it is a really clean smooth transition


then we powder coat








we have also done this with the weird shaped newer air cleaner as well, the only difference is once cut it does not have the same circumference that the football cleaner does but still looks good none the less

Thanks for that I have the newer and was wondering how it would look if it would be cut! Now I might just go that route instead.

Damn that is some great work (again) Joe - don't you want to open a franchise in the UK!

That looks great, but what air filter are you using? I took my air cleaner off my 2012 wide glide as I had some ideas on how to mod it, but there are so many damn air filters out there, I was lost on which one to use!

What's the difference in circumference between the new style and old style?

Do you still use the air filter that is underneath the football or do you need a new set up?

So funny how this thing goes through phases. A couple times a year this style gets all sorts of attention, Mud pulled this out of his *** a few years ago (it might have been WS6 but Mud went into mass production)

I love that it's the best looking AND cheapest (free because it's something you already have) here's some more eye candy. How she sat previously, then after some appliance epoxy.
