Crossbones Air Cleaner Cover?
Crossbones Air Cleaner Cover?
Any issues using the Xbones cover or the one I linked with a round SE or Ness Stage 1 backing plate? I wouldn't think so, but not sure what the clearance or filter coverage is like, having never mocked one up.

Probably a silly question but it's been on my mind. I ride in all kinds of weather, and the exposed filter always looking like **** is getting on my nerves.

I have the Ness Big Sucker 2 (big *** filter) on my bike and the Crossbones AC coverwas the only black cover I could find that didn't break the bank and fits. I have had no issues other than getting used to how far it sticks out compaired to the stock filter.
Here is a side view of the cover.

I'll keep the current cover to swap in for bike nights.

Yea, I had the BS2 kit laying around for about a year after I got a great deal on it from an indy that had to close his doors. I needed to order new breather bolts for it and spent a long time looking for a cover I liked and could afford before I put it all together. I didn't want to deal with the rain and cleaning issue, my bike lives outside and spend much of its time under a cover when parked. Sometimes I am not able to get the cover on before a big storm and she get soaked, but never had a problem with water getting into the system so the cover does its job there.

How deep is that cover? My street bob came with the round chrome cover and it doesn't fit with the fuel moto ac. I cut a little bit of it where it hits the backing plate to make it fit, but it seems like I can't snug it up tight enough and it just want's to spin and come loose.

I used the chrome version of this for many years and over 50,000 miles. Rode in lots of rain including some serious down pours. Never a problem.
The bottom is open only so the filter is well protected. When I changed cams I added a washer behind the cover which pushed the cover out slightly and allowing a little more air to be accessed.
it was the only one that has never got in the way of my leg.
