Default S & S Teardrop for EFI

Anyone running the teardrop air cleaner on the new softails especially slims? I would like to keep to the vintage look of the bike and figured that would compliment it perfectly but I want it to perform as well.

Don't let these johny come latelys with their over priced billet bombs distract you. S&S is the cream of the crop. They work and perform as good or better than any intake money can buy. If you dig the style, don't have a second thought about its performance or function. S&S wrote the book on Harley performance.

Got one on a Nightrain partly because of the vintage look, works ok, don't know if its any better airflow wise than the Harley football though.

I've had one on my EFI Fatboy for about 8 years now. I dig it.

Got one also. Mounted it onto a Mikuni. You'll need to do a bit of modifying. The S&S uses a 3 hole mounting system. Drill a single hole through the center of the cover. There is a cone protruding inward which you'll also need to grind off.

I have one to mount on my Deluxe but now I am going to wait until I put on the exhaust. Kind of save a few mods up to do this winter when I am not riding to work everyday.
