Default Screamin' Eagle Air Cleaner Question

I am getting ready to put on a Screamin' Eagle Stage I Air Cleaner 9the round one) and I want to do away with the OEM cover. I am having a difficult time find options outside of the one on the Harley website 28728-10.

Does anyone know the exact size of this and what other covers may fit? Will covers for the Arlen Ness Big Sucker fit?

Just use a factory oval one, is what I used on my EGC 88, and there are many centers to chose from.

Im running the 9" nostalgic round cover from HD on my softail I ran the billet cover.

Almost any cover will work, some of the HD ones need the spacer (a thick washer) Any cover that fits the Ness Sucker should also work there are dozens of choices

Ypu can even not use a cover and just dress it up with a center piece only

I put the Wille G skull cover on mine - I added a single washer behind the star bracket which allowed to get a bit more bite with the screws.

I like the look of the plain chrome or scallop version for the big sucker. i just hate the look of the Harley football. Thanks for the feedback.

Theres always the 6 inch saw Blade you can use to just cover the front, leave the ROUND airfilter show, Looks BAD *** ( polish up the saw blade till it shines)

Performance Machine adapter kit and cover for the SE cleaner.

I put a HD rainsock on it just to black it out.

Thanks 2004 Sierra, I really like some of the Performance Machine options. I'd like to keep the filter element exposed so this works well.

I used a Zippers element and a 6" round Chrome Smooth Billet Cover. I like the Zippers because it is 5/8" deeper than the SE. You can use any 6" cover if you want an open look like I have.
