I tried all of that long ago. See that black circle in the first pic? That's double sided tape that gets sandwiched between the end of the filter and the inside of the cover when the filter is inserted into the cover. Removing the screws and the ring does nothing because of that double sided tape holding them together. Go ahead and give yours a try when you get a chance and get back to me. That sawzall might be the only way lol!!!

wow that kinda sucks don't it! I guess the only way to get the cover off the filter is to try and work it loose from the tape. if the tape is not that strong then maybe twisting the air filter back and forth will break it loose. that's not really a good design eh?

The problem is it's really strong. I've tried twisting, pulling etc and the damn thing won't separate. Horrible design if you ask me. The only thing I haven't tried is heat. I wonder if hitting the end with a heat gun might break it loose. I guess it's worth a try

After looking at different pictures of the Breakout the '15 Clutch lever, Brake lever and housings are different from the '13 and '14. So I guess I bought the extensions for nothing. I'll have to find different mirrors or extensions.

Here is a picture of the clutch lever. The housing is bigger is way the extensions don't fit. Right one fits fine.
