My mom had a arlen ness big sucker on her 05 ultra and it used the stock cover.

If the link doesn't work just Google Arlene Ness 18-441. it works with my wife's stock cover on her 2015 FLHTK. Then look for a new AN dealer.

I have the Ness on my '15 Limited Low. Fits & works fine but be warned, it lets out a wail under acceleration.... as loud as the pipes.

This is pretty good news. Was leaning toward the Big Sucker, looks like one of the better performers and its one of the cheaper options. Curious as to why the customer service guy at JP Cycles told me it wouldn't fit.

If you got the FI teardrop kit with the filter and backing plate, you'd have air to spare no matter what cams you're using.

Harley Ventilator. Comes stock on the Screamin Eagles. Allows more leg room. Cut 2 small holes in rain sock and place under cover. Looks great and rain proof at the same time.

I put the Fuel Moto air cleaner on my '12 RK, almost identical to the Big Sucker and stock cleaner cover fit.
