Default AC options?

Somewhere along the line in my reading here I saw a picture of a AC that someone had made. They took the center off of there stock intake and put a different filter behind it. I really hope I am explaining this right. Well, I thought that looked really good and I was wondering if anyone could elaborate on how to do this or point me in the direction of someone that could do this for me. I really like the NightTrain cover (at least the center part of it) but want more air flow.

Thanks a ton guys!

Thumbs up

Before I got my round A/C cover I just cut the middle out of my ham can stock cover and put it over the end of my filter. Now I put it on my round cover.

Did the same thing to my 105th anniv. Fatboy after reading a write up of how to do it here:



I'll post a link to the write-up as an edit here, if I can find it. Good luck.

EDIT: Here's the write-up for how to do it, by "mudpuddle", courtesy of "YellowHawk".
