I have an FE with a Demon that would not fit a long oval air cleaner until I made fairly extensive mods to the base plate. I ground the carb ring down to nothing in the rear, about half original height in the front, and tapered. This meant I had to drill a hole to let the rear carb float screw pass through the baseplate. To seal the gap, I epoxied in a soft bulls-eye gasket from a generic brake-fluid lid replacement. Dropped the rear of the AC about an inch, from a half inch interference to a half inch clearance.
