Default What Air cleaner systems do you all have

wanting to put a different air cleaner on my Heritage to change the look some. really would like to get a reusable type of filter and put the Willie G cleaner cover on it but not positive on what I will need to do that.
the Willie G cover looks like it has 5 bolts that hold it on right to the filer assy but when looking at filter elements I don't see how it will bolt up.

I went with the heavy breather on my slim. I’m definitely happy with the look and performance

Ness Big Sucker.

The cover you want comes with a star shaped mounting bracket for your 5 screws, with the center bolt being screwed into the cleaner and the star bracket then being covered by...well, the cover.

Both of my bikes use the OEM round high flow A/C on them. On my ‘18 Deluxe, I’m using the stock A/C cover until someone makes one for the M8 that I like more.

I’m running an OEM round high flow A/C on my ‘17 Slim with a Harley Brass Collection insert on it:

The Willie G cleaner cover will work with the round high flow air cleaner. The cover comes with the 5 bolt adapter you would use to install the cover
