The trick is getting an older air cleaner cover because the inside ring is round and gives a reference to cut to and also covers the metal top on the K&N air filter. It took quite abit of time grinding to make it round. Tell me what you guys think.
Total cost was $23




Nice job Tony. Looks real good.

So do you have any to share besides links to old forums.

First time I saw this done was HDFbrother WS6 Formula.

I did about 50 for Forum Members here over the last year or so.
Retired now.

Here's a direct link to my step by step, posting #642,
for anyone interested.

Hmmm, wonder if you could recycle them by fitting clock faces in them, or make them into lamp bases?
Make for an interesting new kind of home decoration.

Very funny, but its not really a bad idea, the clocks anyway.
But I already have a Harley clock, and I don't think the wife would let me put another one, or more around the house.
