Al,
 
I used a Screaming Eagle aircleaner kit #29008-90A  from the Harley dealer on my KJS single carb conversion  http://www.pbase.com/iamflagman/image/12924673, then I covered it with an Arlen Ness cover, http://www.pbase.com/iamflagman/image/12924672
 
This is the same air cleaner that I used on the original twin carbs, that I fashioned after what you had on yours, http://www.pbase.com/iamflagman/image/12924666 but I modified it more for the KJS single carb setup. The photos and instructions of how I did it start here http://www.pbase.com/iamflagman/image/15590910 the last photo of this series is an animated series of photos showing the Krank-Vent that I also installed.
 
The air cleaner cover does stick out more than the one that Ken used to make, but I have gotten used to it and I don't even notice it anymore, but I also have forward controls that help a lot.
 
I hope that this helps.

[Virago] KJS air cleaner

Has anybody tried to fit a different air cleaner on a KJS? I need one and KJS doesn't make them anymore.  Ken at KJS told me I am on my own and won't recommend anything.  So far I have spent $75 on special order air cleaners that don't fit, and there is no place on this island that has air cleaners on the shelf to try.
P.S. If you are think about buying a KJS you are going to have to go through the same thing.
