Default PM Merc a/c on my ride?

I just came across this on Hot Bike. I think it would really give my bike more of a classic look as opposed to the Venturi that is on it now. I am going to see if I can get just the cover from PM. Dunno if it will happen, but I do not have the cash to buy another whole new air fitler.

Ed, PM and RSD are both owned by the same company along with Vance and Hines, Burly, Progressive and quite a few others. Roland Sands (RSD) is the son of Ted Sands who is the owner of PM. All RSD and PM stuff is manufactured in the same facility at the PM factory. So you are correct.

I was looking at that too and wondering if they sell just the cover. It is pretty cool looking. I would have to decide between black or contrast cut.

I just talked to my buddy over there. They are not selling just the cover as of yet. I am still going to see if I can get just a cover as it will bolt right up. We'll see what happens. Buying the whole a/c is really expensive when I already have the back part.

That's for damn sure and it would be kinda cool to be able to switch them back and forth without having to pay $400.00.

Sorry, don't like it. It reminds me of the Staples Easy Button.

This gets the "hard" button for now until I make a "pricey" button. LOL.

If u want classic, s&s teardrop is the only option IMO...

All the Roland sands, pm stuff looks modern and space age-y.

For the coin, I don't think it's gonna change the look or feel of your bike all that dramatically
