Default Air cleaner cover alignment help!!
Just wondering anybody out there with a screaming eagle high flow set up with a stock cover have any problems aligning the cover straight? Unlike the cover with the stock backing plate it just doesn't just fit on straight and bolt on. Do you guys use some kind of template or is it all by eye...I swear it took me several attempts to get it on what I think is straight. Dumb question I know just wondering if I'm missing something here.....first time I had the cover off with the high flow set up.......

Get a round one. They are easier to get straight.

If you do go with a round one, you need the spacer gasket to go on the outside. Part number -29591-99
