Ok, I have a 99 Fatboy (Evo engine) I want the "Harley-Davidson Skulls" edition aircleaner insert. The fitment says 99 and later V-twins with stock air cleaner. The dealer said it would not work because of a different bolt pattern on the two air cleaners. They both have a center bolt that attaches them to the back plate. The Skulls insert actually has a bracket that has a bolt in the middle and then like 5-6 screws that hold the insert to the bracket. Why won't this work on both the evo and v-twin stock air cleaner? My evo's air cleaner is round and the center of the v-twin's air cleaner is round. So, has anyone tried to do this on an evo yet? I don't want to but the thing and then have no use for it. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!! Bryan

 

Nobody has an opinion??? Somebody has to know something about this.

 

I have the skull cover on my '05 Fatboy,by measurement,the cover is 4.5 inchs in diameter if that helps.

 

A buddy of mine has one on his 97 wide glide. Dealer told him it wouldn't work, but it fit no problem and looks good. I think he may have had to bend the bracket slightly, but it looks to me like it was made to go there...

 

Thanks for the replies. I was pretty sure it would work but I just wanted to check first. You cannot always believe what the steeler says. Thanks again!

 

Be sure to post pictures when you get the skull insert on there!

 

I think Twowheels got it right. Perhaps you might have to bend your
bracket a little. I needed to put a washer between the air cleaner filter
and the bracket myself.
