Default Air filter cover

Each winter, I remove my Rizoma forward controls.
I come back to central controls and just bolt my highway pegs.
A few months ago, I've made mini fllorboards.
This morning, I decided to make an air filter cover in the same aluminium plate, for an old K&N originaly for the complete stock air cleaner box. I've just made a spacer, like for the other K&N I have (look at the upper posts)
I've just brushed the cover instead of polishing.
For me, it looks better that way.

Man, that looks great! Good job!

What kind of support do you have under the floorboards. Aluminum isn't the strongest of materials.

Home made bracket with an iron bar like this one, I've made to bolt floorboards on my Rizoma forward controls :
