Why would they drop the fake air cleaner covers? They didn't need them from day one. They're just a design element. You think they're going to continue "modernizing" the look?



It would appear that they're already moving down that road. The fake air cleaners were to hold onto the classic styling even though they weren't needed. My guess is that they will eventually promote the EFI rather than hide it. They'll keep the wire wheels on the classics, along with the old style tanks, air filters, etc. The cruisers "will be assimilated!"
