Pantera: Did you like the DK while you had it? Loctite goes on everything.
Oh absolutely and their customer service and delivery time is unbeatable! I just wanted something different since I had no choice but to buy another hi flow air cleaner.

I went with a joker machine contrast to replace it just because I wanted something different since I was having to buy something new... I didn't want to spend money just to get the same thing I already had.
had that same thing happen to me a few times with the SE air cleaner and the stock 72 cover....I just tightened the **** out of it

but after the fact, a friend suggested to me to just put a lock washer behind the cover and it works perfectly

Give the guys at Figure Machine a call and ask them what it'd cost to polish the aluminum cover (rather than powder coat or chrome). They do some really nice work.

Headlight nacelle off a 40 year old FLH. That's polished aluminum, not chrome:


Of course, you could polish it yourself with a buffing wheel chucked in a drill. Wear gloves.
