Default Open-Face AC cover

Building a "Ole-Skool" bobber from a Sportster and looking for open faced style AC covers.

Could you show some pics to get my thoughts a flowing.

Here is what I have on my RK but want something different.

Can't go wrong with a DK Customs intake with their "bobber" cover. It's a solid, classic look. The reason I like the DK Customs intake is because it doesn't have a whole bunch of parts and it's very minimalist; I'm a firm believer in keeping things as simple as possible.

DK definitely has a bunch of slick options.

If you like the old velocity stack look, you might want to consider Kuryakyn's Velociraptor, or Lick's Fly Catcher.
