It was already on the bike when I got it....I only replaced the spring (repop) and pedal (OEM). The previous owner did not like chrome so he would have left the OEM black. Even his exhaust system was black..

 

Just for fun....mocked up the mufflers to see how they will look on the bike.

 

Picked up this adapter to try to fit my OEM AC on the super B....have my doubts since it probably converts the pattern from CV to Super E AC, but maybe can make it work.

 

I am going to try this adapter if the Super B has the same bolt pattern as the Super E.....does anyone have this information in their data banks?

 

Sorry... not the same... note where the vent is on that "E"
and like I said... ya need about a 1/4 inch of spacer...like that one appears to be at least..

I think I have some UHMW around here..... bet it will make an adapter...

 

why cant you buy a stock backing plate that will just bolt in

 

Stock backing plate is not a bolt-on to a Super B unless I mod the backplate....which I may have to do. Was looking for an adapter that converts the Super B bolt pattern to a CV pattern.

 

Here is the OEM backplate with the super B gasket over the CV gasket that fits the backplate. Big difference....gotta think about this one.



If I can figure out how to convert the super b bolt pattern to a CV bolt pattern, may go with Hammer Performance backplate, K&N, and OEM cover and insert for better air flow. OEM backplate is just too restrictive/enclosed for my liking.




Here is my OEM cover and trim...pretty good shape.

 

Actually bolt pattern is more off than I thought when I initially compared....stupid me had the AC backplate upside down LOL

 

You can make your own adapter out of a piece of aluminum plate. A drill, a hole saw, a dremel tool and your time without modding the stock aircleaner base plate. Its easy because the two bolt patterns dont interfere with each other.
