looks pretty good. alot of poeple have adressed this problem by using a "s" bolt. i think the fastman talks about it. I just drilled a hole in my hair hat an inch closer and it fits perfect.

RE: air cleaner...
 

That bent bolt you made is what every one refers to as an s-bolt. You did the exact right thing. Pretty easy huh.

RE: air cleaner...
 

Yep, that's how everyone's been doing it.

I suggest a bigger air cleaner set up though.

RE: air cleaner...
 

Ya, no kidding. You got the room for it for sure. Use a taller filter.

RE: air cleaner...
 

who did you order form and did you have problems with raiseing or lowering? how much clearence is left?

THANKS

You must have a body lift because that amount of space above the filter is not normal.

RE: air cleaner...
 

Yeah, I wondered about that cavern in there myself. Although the diameter of the air cleaner is smaller than the 14" one, that's a HUGE space above the lid.
I'm jealous! Had to remove my TB just to reach my distributor!
Think I would circumcise that bolt tho.LOL

I did cut down the size of the stud to match the top of the hat...I placed 2 inch body pucks everywhere...as in size...14 inch air cleaner or taller filter?
this is still experimental...I found it odd that there was a stud hole in the throttle boddy, there must be an aftermarket design for this? as for the heat issue, has anyone come across that yet?

RE: air cleaner...
 

Not dinging your work or anything, but I'm just not getting the reason behind folks wanting to use the old style air cleaner.
