Default Open look Air filter

Just installed a SE Filter and wanted an open look to it so am using the rain sock and a #1 Skull Air Filter cover.

Although the set-up look great it is somewhat let down by the open connector on the left hand side (see image).

Any ideas as to how to dress this up some way?

These an aftermarket part that will mount behind the entire assembly available in chrome & black, someone posted a pic and link about 2 months ago.

i am running the same set up as you are and i don't even notice the connector anymore. I actually think that black piece from HD that goes behind the heavy breather looks worse than the little bit of connector that a person can see. A few friends of mine have taken the shield from HD and had it chromed but i still think it look a little out of place.

I was not happy with the connector showing as well as the gray back plate.

Bought both the wrinkle black back plate and the wrinkle black throttle body cover.





Now I need to figure something out for the gray breather bolts.
