Rivit counters & originality
The S&S carb on the XLCR is not quite original and neither is chrome

Solution is as per photos

A cut down s&s outer cover drilled to accept the HD original air cleaner cover

End result from the side profile looks close to stock

Yes the 1000 insert should be black not silver, if anybody has one spare 1000 insert in black please contact me, I have the silver 1000 or a black 1200 insert to swap

All that stuff is easy to come by, you try to track down the original air for the tyres and I bet you won't be using the original oil either
