I was looking at air cleaners at several after-market sites and was shocked at how expensive they are. I thought it might be interesting to change up from the typical factory-issue model but that little red filter in there must be made out of expensive gem-stone at the prices they were asking.

well first off, you can use your existing cover with most aftermarket air cleaners.
There are a lot of nice and efficient air cleaners out there for reasonable amounts.
I got my S&S Stealth from Direct Cycle Parts/Frank (forum sponsor) for $105 shipped but that's just the air cleaner. The bobber style cover and rainsock were another $96 shipped.

that's why i suggested the ness big sucker to you in the other thread.
$114 shipped is what i paid, easternpc on ebay
easier install, the throttle body brace and tank stay in place ( mask the tank with tape, in case of wrench slip)
chrome backing plate ( other may be cast grey against the black and chrome heads)
oiled, washable reusable filter media
and uses the stock cover- this hides the ugly servo plug and wiring at 8 o'clock on the throttle body- you can see how ugly it is in the pic, previous post

yeah i could do without the throttle body wiring showing but nothing I can do about it. I bought the heavy breather TB cover and commenced to cutting it up to fit but it was a wasted $50...

I'm a big fan of the old school S & S teardrop air cleaner and cover.
I used to run the Super E on my carb bikes. Maybe I got used to the look. Don't know.
