Where is the best place to get a SE Heavy Breather as far as price goes?

I don't like the plumbing look of the Heavy Breather types but then I found out about the unique shape of the S&S air cleaner backing plate. Its a cone shape and so the backing plate surface actually sits behind the level of the throttle body face. So the air cleaner is moved in at least an inch compared to all the other types.

After I fitted an S&S air cleaner it made a huge difference to my riding comfort. They also happen to dyno as one of the best flowing air cleaners.

Not meaning to hijack ,Foxster where did you get the s&s from?

I am 6'4" and only sometimes will I notice my leg touching the pipe of the SE breather. Usually only when fully stretched out cruising down the highway. I love the SE heavy breather!
