Default "Heavy" Breather Filter Element

Guys, Does anyone (other than HD) make a filter element that will fit on a Heavy Breather set-up. I checked in the "Summit" racing catalog for an auto/K&N filter but couldn't find the right size. I may be "Stuck" with buying from HD. Thanks in Advance for your help.

K & N sells a fit...lemme find it and I'll edit this post in a few minutes...

Here's their table... http://www.knfilters.com/search/univcone.aspx
I think it's this one... http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?Prod=RC-4160

When I first looked for an exact replacement, I looked at the 2.5" dia. flange sizes...close, but no match. Their specs say the rubber flange can stretch up to 1/16" (.0625"), so I checked the next smaller flange size (2.438") and found the RC-4160 had the right dimensions to closely match the stock element. DO DOUBLECHECK ME, as I'm going from memory.
