Default S&S Mod

So I bought an S&S air filter cover off ebay that included the backing plate. I went to put in on My harley only to find out the back plate mounting holes and that vacuume port hole did not match.

Looked up the part number and its for a buell. Tried looking for a cheap backing plate for a S&S shorty E carb and coudlnt find one. I only paid $50cdn shipped so Plan B Drill some holes. :P Let Me know what ya think guys.

Here it is before.



AFTER



With cover Installed
