Default Looking for an other insert for ventilator air cleaner

Hi. Wanna change my 114-printed insert for any other design. Finned would be great or black but nowhere to find. Any ideas? I know this expensive one from defiance series...


Ventilator insert stock without „114“


Thanks a lot

Thanks, but I am looking for a kind of undercover version which doesn’t “scream” about an update 😉

I dunno, is it worth going to the new air-cleaner / filter unit and get the exposed filter surface..?

Mind you, that's like $400, but you get improved airflow. What are your plans with the motorcycle? Just this trim piece or moving toward ST II, III, IV?
I'm thinking I'll go this way eventually.
I guess you could pull it and hit it with some black spray paint? Or red / orange whatever.

Good Luck

It’s planned as a kind of trim only. My hope was a part for example from kuryakyn but there is nothing available. 500€ in Europe for the showed parts. Well... But looks not bad.
painting is also a solution but the „114“ is engraved so it will be still visible.

Well - what about taking the cover piece to a machine shop? Get a thin stainless steel piece made, powder coat it.

Just a suggestion.

Good luck.

Respect. That’s a new and nice idea. To get this right: Your intent is to make a kind of Cover instead the 114 insert and powdercoat, right?

500 euros is insane
fill the engraving on your stocker and paint as suggested

if the body filler cracks in 20000 kms you’ve lost lost 20 euros

Something like that was the idea behind:

The „metal piece idea“ I will try to give a chance. Thanks.

Why not see if someone could fabricate an insert possibly having it engraved or laser etched with a unique design.
This is my laser etched horn cover.
