Cheap cover for AC
After my Stage1 and Screaming Eagle AC changeover, I put on a Harley Smooth Round air cleaner cover, until I find one I really like.
But that is a lot of chrome.
Then after going through some old stuff I found my old Flame Cover I used on the Football.
It fits perfect with the “Round Cleanerâ€.
I may change it to the flames one that is all chrome and no gold though.
I know a lot of you guys use these covers just on the filter alone,
but with all the bugs this time of year and all the flying debris hitting me and the filter,
I want a cover over my filter.....and so does my mechanic.
Sorry I take lousey pictures but here goes.
It looks great in person.

RE: Cheap cover for AC
not sure the flames go with the Beast graphics but I like the idea. I'm putting that a/f cover on my Fatty but can I get a face plate that will fit on the smooth round cover without having to buy another a/f cover just for the insert of face plate?

Heritage Brian: Thanks, glad to help you out, it is amazing, it does look like it belongs on there.
Cycle Drider: Thanks, I’m looking for any new option of an insert. This one is just one I already had.
Dugan: I agree the golden flames don’t match, it was just one I already had. You can buy those insert covers buy themselves, they don’t come with a football cover.
Gramps: Thanks, yea a CD would be cheaper, I guess my idea wasn’t all that cheap, it was just a idea for different options.

RE: Cheap cover for AC
Texas Fat Boy, does your smooth AC cover touch the backplate for yourSE AC unit. I recently bought theround HD nostalgic AC cover and the required gasket and it still hits the backplate (around 10 and 2 on a clock face) when I tighten the center screw. It just doesn't look like it fits properly. Wondered it your round AC cover does the same thing? Thanks.
