Default Which Air Filter

I have an '06 with the Big Bore II kit installed. It still only has the drop in screaming eagle air filter. I want to get a completely new breather, but dont know which one to get. I like the heavy breather and have been reading good stuff about k&n's new air charger. Which one do y'all suggest? I think the air charger is a good deal cheaper than the HD, but I am not positive on that. Oh yeah, i will be installing my new thundermax as soon as i return from this deployment, so i know i would definitely benefit from a better breather.

Thanks,
AMMO

They all flow about the same once you change the back plate. I think it really boils down to what look you are after and how much you are willing to spend. I don't know what bike you have but if it were me I would try to find one that suited my taste's aesthetically and go from there. The cheapest is not always the best.

I went with the HD heavy Breather. I love the look. It's one of my favorite mods. Just my $.02

I think I am going with the heavy breather also. I looked at K&N's website. Their new aircharger is only made for the touring bikes right now. Thanks fellas.
