I run an arlen ness big sucker i got years back. What I like most about it is it is small enough not to hide the jugs,yet open enough for my build to breathe

All the better known high capacity air cleaners will flow more air than your engine can use, even if you've had engine work done. Thus, the choice of which a/c to buy really comes down to looks, and to a lesser degree, ergonomics. Some air cleaners are thicker than others and may hit your right knee, still others, like the heavy breather, turn forward and provide more knee room.

I went with http://www.figuremachine.com/product...w-vision-5.php for my Street Bob.
Personally, I love the look and the bike loves it too! I've gotten a few compliments on it too.
There's so many out there, I think it all comes down to what YOU think looks good and what's comfortable: as in, you don't smack your knee on it constantly.

anything that allows your bike to get caught in the rain, I don't get a lot of the "cool looking" open to the elements filter designs.

Had one bike, where the water would drip off the tank, and right onto the element. No problem.

I've never really had a problem with that. There were more than a few years my only transportation had 2 wheels. Several hundred miles in the rain, rode home in sleet, etc.

I've ridden many hours in hard driving rain and not once has water entering through the high flow air cleaner been an issue. And I don't use a rain sock/pre-filter.
