I am probably going to enclose my air filter next season but want to keep it as minimal as possible. I was thinking about either the round black x-bones cover or the chrome smooth cover. My question for x-bones owners: What is the diameter of the stock round cover & is it cut out along the bottom? If anybody has the Chrome Smooth cover (pn# 29153-07), what is the diameter of it?

Thanks

 

Diameter is 8 inches.
No cut out in the metal cover as the air intake is in the plastic base.
(guess that is the cut out you are talking about?)

 

8 inch and no cut out on bottom like the old evo's had

 

I have a stock xbones air cleaner for sale if you want.

 

Joker Machine makes some really small air cleaners.

 

An 8" cover fits nicely over a Wood 325 cfm element, but is really not needed unless you have an engine that is really pulling on the carb/t/body.

Thanks. I'll keep you in mind if that's what I end up wanting to get

 

I run a SE stage I AC and use a stock 80" round cover. I think they are 8" diameter. It does have a small rectangular cutout that I face downward so you don't see it. I used heat and solvent and removed the brushed aluminum trim that said 80" Softail, or something like that. Then polished the chrome. Looks nice and it only cost about $5.00 at a swap meet.
