It is the Arlen Ness Big Sucker which includes everything that you need. For the cover I used a Harley air cleaner trim insert....the one I have is the police commemorative collection. Got the idea from Steve (maineultraclassic) a few posts above I am now going to switch filter elements to Zippers upgraded element to allow more air in for my build that I'm doing.

I got caught in a downpour so heavy I couldn't hardly see the bikes in front of me...........and the bike ran fine.

Here is mine -



I have recently replace the stock Big Sucker element with the Zippers replacement high flow element.

Thats great. Great help. Sorry about thet novice questions here, but.. when I remove the stock 'oval' air intake, I assume the covers you guys buy to go on the Big Sucker will fit without modification? It looks like there is 5 screws that go into the cover... do they go right into the Big Sucker intake? I am probably reading too much into it, but you can never be too sure.

HDJOE88... Can you describe your air intake some more? I'm like the round look rather than the 'football' look. But can't find what cover you used or whats under it.
I replaced my OEM air filter with the K&N part # HD-0800 and then just took off the football cover and replaced with the air cleaner insert H/D part # 29263-04 "screaming Eagle" script. Held on with OEM screw. Perfect fit over the filter.

I like this idea. I am goin to remove my football as well.
My footbal has a big screw in the cneter of it. The KSull cover looks to not have one. What and how does it attach?
i have the SEII intake on mine and so i have a better filter and back plate. i am guessing if I buy the intake trim plate and remove the football it should work but do nto see how it would attach.
