This is funny. I just came in from the garage and pulled my football cover off 5 minutes ago. I like the look with out it. There is a guy on here who will cut the center of your football out so it will fit. I can't find his name but someone will know.
For me, I prefer the TearDrop S&S style, I just think there is nothing more beautiful than this.
I have 1 Chrome and 1 black, and I alter between them, I put them on a Doherty PowerPacc Air Cleaner with S&S back plate, you can get lots of kits online for that.
You set the standard so high with your bike by doing so many chrome goodies and high dollar mods that you are going to have to spend some major cash to make the bike look evened out. If you try to use a cheap way out it could (notice I said "could") bring your bikes beauty down a bit. Spend the money now or wish you had latter. Get the PM cleaner, My 02 cents worth.
I replaced my football with a CD. 'Borrowed' one from my son at first, then changed it for a brand new blank one at work. The new one sure does shine and sparkle all different colors!
Slammedfatboy, like your hot rod style ride. The blacked out look with the red sheet metal looks mean. The open filter fits your hot rod, no frills style. Keep it open....
