Default A/C Cover

What are the differences between the football and round covers? I have a stock football cover and always looking to improve perfromance. Is one better than another? I'd think the f/b one would give better flow.

Just wondering.

Ride Safe!

...the only difference is the shape...they all do the same thing...let filtered air into the intake...some are "high-flow" for performance..which it sounds like you are looking for...but they come in all shapes...foot-ball is no better/worse than anyother "shape" ...they all are designed with a specific "air-flow rate" in mind...in the 70's they were called "toaster-ovens"...man...you shoulda seen those ugly things...

had a friend that said the round cover on his 05 RK with a 95 inch kit...cut off airflow...he went back to his football. He proved it on the dyno tweaking his SERT map.
