I only used mine once but carry it at all times in a saddlebag.
thank you for that very valuable information because I would have done that if I go that route... because it says on their site your stock cover will fit over the big sucker.

If you use the link you posted, then click on naked you will see an exploded view of the air cleaner.

I had my stock air cleaner cover come off at about 85mph in Flagstaff, AZ on my way to Laughlin. The cover ripped a perfect circle where it bolts to the cheap *** Arlen Ness air filter. I had to duct tape the hole and continue on. I ended up purchasing a new K&N Hi Flow air filter that looks to be more reinforced where the bolt holding the cleaner cover connects. Be sure to attach the foam gasket to the filter where the air cleaner makes contact before you tighten it up. This will help with vibration. I did not reuse the stock cleaner cover as it is much too big and catches a lot of air which caused excessive vibration on the air filter connection it's self. I went with a round HD cover that only covers the air filter and is nice and secure. I'll post some pics maybe tomorrow to show what it looks like.

Here ya go Betty Bob. It's nothin fancy, but it is a hell of a lot better than the stocker. Especially considering that the dealer gave it to me free after I showed him what happened.

Yup, and that's actually the smartest way to do it in my opinion. Put the pipes on first and see how the bike performs. Then go with the AC and fuel management and compare. It's easier to troubleshoot when you do mods one step at a time. If you do it all at once and and your bike performs one way or another (ie: loss/gain in torque) you won't know for sure if it's the pipes or the AC/fuel management. It also allows buys you time to save more money. Good luck!
