I am aware they fit the older model baggers, but with the new backing plate of the rushmores, some don't fit. Need to look into the fuelmoto or zipper.

+1 on the Fuel Moto Pro billet AC. I wanted to keep the stock cover as well and the Fuel Moto one fit the bill fine. Plus the back plate supports the cover better.

Well I think I'll stick with the Big sucker and use stock cover. Can pick one up locally for $95, although I've always like the heavy breathers can do k&n one at advanced auto parts for $200

installed the big sucker air cleaner this afternoon, fairly simple and straight forward. Debating if I'll use the football cover, you do hear the air being sucked in when laying on the throttle.

Setup: decatted headers, CFR slip ons, big sucker air cleaner

As for the PC-V map, currently using the following:
#046: CFR slip ons without insert, screamin eagle air filter

Sounds solid and not much decel popping from what I've noticed so far. Suggestions thoughts on which map to use

I just bought the K&N filter to replace the stock paper one. Flows nicely.

How much better than the paper one does it flow?

The 2014 Rushmore's do not have paper stock air cleaner. It's already a high flow air filter. Now I'm not saying its the best filter out there but it is not a paper filter.
Just saying.

Oh I know. It's not actually "paper" but it's just run of the mill stuff.
It's reusable and flows better than the older type but not as well as say... a K&N.

@Tired: I don't know what it flows but K&N has all their specs out there to reference... Of course according to them it makes like 150 more HP or something.

all of you do not read much. If the Op is going to use the stock cover there is no reason to change the filter underneath as already proven by flow tests over a year ago. The rushmore series has already improved the flow of previous years where a simple upgrade to an SE filter made a difference. do some research or do as my sig suggests.

Already did the research, (I can read) just did not get into it on this thread. So your assumption is not correct!
