new breather cover- pic

Here you go Squidhead...the round breather cover you sent me installed on my Big Sucker. Rolled it out of the shop @ lunch just to take a pic.
Thanks for the part!
Looks a lot better than the stock FXDC cover!

Love that look. Does anyone know if most or all HD Round A/C covers will fit the Big Sucker? I have a 2013 RGU and a Big Sucker. Has one hole in the center for the stock football cover screw.

I would like to put on a nostalgic round cover.

just be careful with that cover on there....the heat from the engine collects inside that one and can get quite hot. looks cool for sure, but that was stock on my bob and i couldn't believe how much heat built up in there.

Couldn't figure out why it fitted so close, until I asked my parts guy & he told me I needed the foam "gasket" to go on the inside of the cover. It's a peal & stick thing. Don't have the part# in front of me, but it's like $13.

nope, i was running a FM stage 1 kit with that cover over top of it. it creates a little cave for the heat, and once i switched to just a regular plate to put on the end of my a/c i noticed how much cooler it was down there.
