The round ones (usually chrome) are HD parts for a Sportster or big twin. Usually older models, like from the Evo days since when they went to twin-cam motors they switched to the "football" air cleaner.

I had this one on the bike until i got sick of whacking my knee on it. Then i gave it back to my brother and i think he still has it. I went with a carburetor model force winder elbow and put a k&N filter on the X1 and it works fantastic!!

I bought a 4" generic round air cleaner from autozone, cost about $11. Cut off the flange on the back and drilled 3 holes to mount it to the carb. after 8000 miles the paper filter that came with it looked a bit worn. I found a 4" k & n on ebay for $10.

I like it and so does the motor

I personally like either the stock or forcewinder air cleaner assemblies and so does my right knee.

I have the one from American Sportbike. My Corbin seat moves me back a little so I have knee clearance.

That American Sport Bike aircleaner is one of my favorites. I have a Dragtron with K&N filter that I like. It is cast with an internal funnel shape.

It's a UFO "Twins" headlight with a projector beam added on one side and the other side modified to not melt with a 50W bulb. They've recently been discontinued but theres still plenty out there. I got mine ten years ago from these guys:
http://www.fourstrokesonly.com/Headlights1.html

This was my inspiration:


Since it is designed for a dirt bike with a more relaxed steering angle some modification must be made to change that angle. I just cut-up some CF brackets. There's a lot less head buffeting at highway speeds, but you really have to tuck-in to go 100+. Not much different than the stock screen in that respect.

Sorry for the hijack.
