Default Kurakyn Hyper Charger or Heavy Breather?

Ok, I looked and tried to do a search before asking but got nothing. Anybody have opinions on the Kurakyn Hyper Charger? I already wasted about $500 for a D&M after seeing one on a dig dog but it just doesnt look right on a harley (IMO). Ive seen lots of bikes with the heavy breather and it does look good in person but just seems to "exposed" to me, like it could get broken off sticking out like that or that it would get dirtier faster or start to wear from being open. Kinda same thing with the hyper charger, looks cool but has moving parts that means one more thing to possibly break? It may sounda bit like Im over cautious but trust me, Im one of those people that if its something I own, and it can break..........it will. Thanks for the input.
