Default Fatboy intake that fits under oem football cover?

Going to order my short shots for my 13 fatboy lo and I wanna throw on a air intake since I already have a power commander on there, but I have the anniversary edition and want to keep my football cover on. What's a decent intake that will fit under the stock cover?

I think you just mean intake filter. Maybe a k&n one will provide better flow.

K&N filter will help some but for stage one you need to loose the restrictive stock backing plate and replace it with a stage 1 plate.

I see that they sell a K&N filter with a backing plate. How hard is that to install?

Ok thanks. I'm assuming that's all I need for a stage 1? I got the commander when I put the twin slash slip ons on the bike so I just have to contact fuel moto for a new map and that should be it RIGHT?

Sounds like you have it all right. Fuelmoto will set you up.
