Air box changed, how to finish the job

Mister559 · 05-25-2014, 10:48 PM

Changed the air box on my '11 Vaq today. Not really liking the open "hole" that's now on the left side. Thinking of fabricating a plate to cover the area and improve the look. Has anyone seen (or done) this? I don't mind inventing the wheel but prefer not to re-invent it!

Chuckster's and Thunder Manufacturing make a decorative plate that they sell. Others have fabricated their own.

Thank You. I'll have a look.

Here is a pic of the Thunder piece in chrome but also available in black.

Thanks for the link. At $76 for a piece of ornamental metal, I can go without that one extra accessory.

I'm in agreement with Thunderhoof. Think I'll make the piece myself. And while I'm at it, I think it would look good powder coated black with the Vulcan logo either etched or painted. At least that way it'll match my tattoo!
