It would be obvious if a bolt got sucked in, if the bike is running I'm sure your fine. Are any of the bolts on the inside of the filter missing? If just the center bolt is missing then I'm sure it's laying on the freeway and not in your motor

Whew* ok cool, I just want to be sure and not assume that everything is ok... Luckily I bolted the cover from the outside and not from the inside as instructed on the DK instructions... So when the bolt fell off... Off came the clear cover along with the two rubber washers it instructed me to install in between the cover and the screw mount.... So I'm really hoping those washers fell off the fwy and not in to my TB

if you rode 20 miles home you would know by now if something got sucked into your intake. Risky business riding home like that because the intake is like a vacuum cleaner
