Default Air cleaner covers help
My stock air cleaner cover on my 06 Electra Glide is killing my right leg. My leg has to bow around the air cleaner when my feet are on the floorboards. I have tried moving my leg arond the the floorboard and changing positions on the seat but after a while my leg at my knee and hip just start to ache.
Are there aftermarket air cleaner covers that don't stick out so far? I have looked at different styles but none of them have dementions so I'm hoping someone out there has a narrow cover that I haven't found yet.
Thanks

This should take care of the problem. Rain sock it you ride in the rain. They make a lot of covers to cover the center up. You can also do floorboard spacers. IV got a turbo setup and have floorboard spacers. Very comfortable

Floor board extensions, made by several companies.

Yup that. I like the ones from Kuryakyn that move the board out 1" and forward 1".

I've used floorboard extensions on my last 2 bikes .
They make the board position a lot more comfortable .

For the a/c cover...DK Customs has one of the "slimmest" on market.

For the floorboard extensions...HarleyGoodies.

Thanks for the ideas I'm going to look into the DK Customs ac and the floorboard extensions. My only issue with the extensions is I already hit my ankles on floorboards when I'm maneuvering around in a parking situation.

Do you have a stage one air cleaner? The screaming eagle I have on my 04 can be ran without the cover. Haven't done it myself yet, but I plan to because it rubs the inside of my knee.
