Default Screamin' Eagle Heavy Breather Filter Cover Anyone using this?

Found another pretty little thing I gotta have, or do I??

Does anyone have one of these? I think it's a bit spendy for what it is but do think it looks super cool. Any feedback on the quality and over all thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

$170 to cover the filter? I can think of a lot of other totally useless HD gear I'd rather throw my money at.

after dropping a $1000 on goodies last week when I told da' wife I was going to drop around $300, yes, I sure am a *****! I wonder how you clean and maintain the filter with this on it? This is stuck on with one of those 3M pucks so ones it's on, it aint coming off easy!

Why would you spend $300.00 to increase flow then another $170.00 to reduce it?

Would it really reduce it that much? If so, then yes, that would seal the deal on a BIG NO for the add on.

It depends if your concerned about performance. That cover defeats the purpose of an open air element filter. The only time I cover mine up is when I'm riding in a rain storm. The black rain sock at $20.00 looks better & is way cheaper.

I didn't mean to be so blunt but look at the cover. Just looking; it shields at least half the filter element.
