to cover or not to cover

[jumbo shrimp]

i'm getting a arlen ness big sucker stage 2 air cleaner and was unsure if i have to get a cover or can i leave the cover off.

the only cover that will work, since the stock cover is now too small, is a Danish cookie tin. It leaves about 1/2 inch space around the filter. Spray paint it the same color as the bike.

if you want to leave the filter exposed, as recommended by Ness, they have a chrome face cover for the front plate. Don't waste your money on one because the chrome bubbles. I'll sell you mine cheap.

Just buy a stock evo cover off of ebay and the mounting screw that comes with it, then you can put any insert on it that will fit a stock evo.

Did you build a big cube engine and you need more air flow? Have you checked out the Arlen Ness Big Sucker 1 with a taller filter? That would give you more choices for covers, there's not that many covers for the bigger diameter Arlen Ness Big Sucker II.

Here's the taller tapered filter below:

what you are getting is a chrome cover for the face plate. I thought your question concerned covering the filter element itself.
