Left Side Intake Replacement

mocitymean · 07-06-2006

I have a 05 Meanstreak and I am about to replace the stock airkit with a Thunder Airkit. I am curious if there is any part I could purchase to fill the void that will be left when I remove the air filter from the left side.

There are quite a few things that you can use to fill the void. Personally I have a Kuryakyn V Shield and I like it real well.
I'm sure other people will chime in with what they have done.

V Shield $79, My personal preference

Thunder makes a side plate, not too terribly attractive imho. $69

I've seen a few guys relocate the horn there and use a Harley style horn cover which looks real nice.

I will post pictures of the bike soon.
Thanks again!!
