[QUOTE=SpaceReapersNOLA;13701696]So do you like the smaller air cleaner? My buddy has one and likes it but I haven't seen one compared to the larger RSD air cleaners. Is it really noticeably smaller? also when you say the "covers" leaked , did all of them leak? did they all crack? Thanks for the info!
I didn't want a bulky big air cleaner. I was going for more of slimmer look. As I say that and laugh cuz I have a mini beast air horn on the other side. lol
The covers never leaked. They just had small little cracks where the screws are. I never tighten them I just made sure they were tight form the package.

Got my parts back from the powder coater. Engine guard, saddlebag guards, rear signal bar, strut covers, 4-point docking hardware, headlight ring, fairing skirt, front signals. Then got a black luggage rack.
I thought it would make a pretty big difference, and I wasn't sure if I wanted to touch the engine (regarding gloss black). Now that I see everything, I think I for sure want to do the fork lowers and uppers, floorboards, levers, etc. Eventually I will probably do the primary, derby, cam, timing, etc. Just not sure yet.

after having to do it a few times, i would recommend just taking a little extra time to remove the bags, the the 3 nuts for the rear tale assembly/fender (bottom piece).. and removing that altogether. gives you much more room to get up to the turn signal bar, and a better understanding of how everything is laid out back there.
edit: also, if youre mostly under the bike, watch for dirt/dust in your eyes when youre under there trying to see stuff.
