...and if you look at the photo above ( Skratch's), you can see that the plug interrupts the line of the rear intake pushrod cover, so...

this design ( on the 08 and up intake) could have been much slicker.

you can see the other photo of the 06, the intake is different and it's tidy



alot of the aftermarket and harley covers seem to take the photo from an angle where the plug is hidden...

there is a cover for the plug, but it's not much prettier

I put the Willie G. cover over my Arlen Ness Big Sucker. The throttle body wiring doesn't bother me!

 

Fuel Moto billet for me, throttle body wiring doesn't bother me, either. In fact, never heard anyone mention the wiring, got good comments on the cover.

 

I too didn't like the sight of the TBW plug. Thanks to people like Dawg on this forum offering solutions, I bought and installed the Throttle Body Cover 29009-08 ($19.95).

 

i thought about adding the cover, but it just seems to draw even more attention to that area, so i left it off.

i do like your choice in covers though

 

For those with open air cleaners what are you using for rain, or does it matter ?

 

I don't let the plug bother me. Some people just like to **** on others. Don't want to deal with the TBW wire, sell your brand new bike and buy an older one. Yeah, that's a smart idea. Facts are that wire is there on newer bikes. You can either cover it, hide it, "use creative photography" or just ride the damn thing.

Lots of options on covers out there. I have the Willie G cover and I like it. Ride safe.

 

I went with the Performance Machine cover to match my wheels. Theyve got a ton of different designs. And its a kit to make it fitthe Big Sucker, or SE AC kit.

 

I ride in the rain frequently, and never worry about it.

Picked up my round cover off ebay for about 10 bucks. It's a ball milled cover for a VW Zenith air cleaner. I've used saucepan lids and other found items in the past.

 

If you have a steady hand and enough patience you can hack into your football cover and reuse it. It may not look pretty, but who cares?
