Air Filter

Does anybody know if this http://www.ebay.com/itm/370659109635...84.m1423.l2649 might fit on a 1600? Even if I had to make som modifications to it I could handle it. Are the throttle bodies much different between the VN200 and the VN1600? I just like the look of it because it is different from most others I have seen. Any info or advice would be appreciated.

Comparing the amount of material around the intake holes it looks like it will be too tall to fit under the gas tank.

I'm not sure if it will fit either, perhaps someone with a V2K could give you a couple measurements.

You would have to make your own backing plate (not hard, I did for my 6 inch set up) and move the holes for Throttle bodies as close to the top as you can with out undercutting the filter element and it would fit then cause there is no curve to the element.
But the VN2000 cylinders are considerably taller than the 15/1600 Nomad's. I think you'd find that cover/filter would be overly large in appearance on the Nomad.
