Reply to all,
The new smooth air cleaner cover from H-D, part 29153-07, leave very little air space between the cover and K&N filter HD-0800. The only open space is at the cut-out, at the bottom of the cover. So as ugly as the 'football' looks, the flow area is much better with it than with a 'tight' fitting smooth cover. If I was convinced that I could ride in heavy rain with no cover at all (except for an end trim ring), i'd do it. But I've yet to be convinced that is a good idea.
The worst part is I like the exposed filter with trim ring, just leery about rain intrusion.
