Default Getting rid of the football cleaner.......
Since I already have the SE breather on mine, seems like I can make most anything work.
So, would you go round or teardrop?

I like the 'Old School' look of the round covers like those used on my Panhead, Shovelhead, and EVO's.

So I went with the HD 'Nostalgic Bar & Shield Logo' cover on my TC Softail.

EVO cover with or without an insert or none at all work for me. If you don't like the bling of the chrome, you can chuck an EVO cover in your drill, spin it, and hold a piece of sandpaper on it to give it a brushed finish.

The first pic is an EVO cover with a Twin Cam insert. I put it together, but don't run it. I prefer the most a plain cover. I don't need or want something else that says "Harley Davidson" on it. The don't buy anything with that stuff written on it.
