Default a/c decision

Hey Guys,
I am trying to decide which way to go. Sifted through a lot of info but still have questions.

I do not mind the stock ham can but want to replace for higher flow since I put on SE slip ons.
I would not mind altering the stock plastic plate to open more air and useing a K&N replacement filter if it gives more cfm.
So I wonder if anyone can report what cfm the stock filter gives and what the stock replacement K&N filter gives.

or What cfm the SE setup gives as opposed to the stock replacement K&N filter gives.

And lastly what cfm the other upgrades give.

I am on a fence what to do cause I want what ever setup to also take the cyl head breather bolts to route the oil/gas through the intake cause I do not want to deal with just haveing breather bolts exposed and have to wipe them down.

Thanks

Any aftermarket A/C is going to flow more air than a stock motor can use. It's going to boil down to what you aesthetically like for your bike.

+1 Figure Machine (click it).
Their products are 100% made in the USA and you have choices for cover design and color. A real bargain when you consider the engineering, the customizing ability and top notch customer service.
The 5" or the 4" K&N filter elements, that are included, will flow all the air you'll need.
The OL's 5" custom design with chrome and two colors of powder coat:

I'm a sucker for the exposed cone filters. Thats why I plan on getting a screaming eagle heavy breather......... someday.

Thanks guys I checked out Figure Machine, like it, Primo!! I was looking at Moco's offerings and a few others i see on the sight but they did not have anything that made me want to loose the cash, the oval version is just what I was looking for. But then again the round version is real nice also, crap now I feel like Brett Farve. Either way they will get my business, quality shows and I like the channeling of the breather bolt gases back into the intake. The custom covers are off the hook.
