The fillers actually look pretty good in person. The only thing that is really noticeable is the gap from the bottom of the fender to the bottom of the bags. Which in my case will be gone when this new fender gets installed.

Jayson, I have your email still. I will email you a pic tonight or tomorrow when I get everything mocked up with the new fender. I'm guessing you may like it, it will look totally different than the last picture that I sent you.

Hi
After seeing so many Lo's that have different Air cleaners on I really want to get rid of that damn football & put a different AC on instead,but not knowing allot about EFI I'm not sure if its just a swap over job or if the bike will need to be retuned to accept it.
I used to really like the old SS teardrop AC & still do but unsure if I can get one that fits, I also like some of the round ones I've seen on here so can someone point Me in the right direction to obtain one of these bearing in mind Im in Australia so they must be able to send OS.
Herein starts the empty wallet syndrome.

Ill get pics up after I get the fender painted, it is just mocked up right now. I'm on vacation next week so it will be the first week of October before I get it all back together. Gonna go chill on the beach in Maui for a week

If anyone is interested I am selling my low profile LED taillight from D2moto. It is wired and has all connectors on it to just plug it in to factory. You won't have to do any wiring or pinning connectors like when you buy it from them. I am also sell the vivid black front fender too. The fender is in great shape, only 3k miles on my bike.

You will have to address the tune with a new AC, if its high flow which most afetrmarket are. You can use a powercommader to do that, or there are others such as a fuel pak. I really like the Roland Sands Design ACs. I have the black ops turbine on mine. Pricey but very nice. Good luck with your decision.

Hey Rick, welcome to the thread, sorry about your wallet.

I'm a little bit confused about your post.. Do you want to just change the football cover to something else? Or do you want to put a new air cleaner setup on to your bike? (i.e. new cover, new filter, new mounting bracket..basically a stage I).. as far as I know, most of what Harley and other places offer require you to change the mounting bracket as well, which basically means going Stage I. That being said, to answer your other question, now you're changing the amount of air coming in to the engine, so yes you're going to need to be retuned but not by much if you're not changing the exhaust.. as for who ships down under, that i dont know off the top of my head.. hope this helps out a bit.
