I've been through a couple styles, But I like the Arlen Ness Derby Sucker kit. You use any derby cover of choice as the cover. Simple, yet adds a custom look.

I'm a cheap f*ck, couldn't see spending $300+ on an air filter, but also wanted something a bit different from stock. I just bought the large K&N HD-0700 and sprayed out the faceplate.





Since these pics, I have sprayed out the back plate and the bolt heads.

gforrest.... there is no mist on the top breathers. They are filtered. I had the internal system from both harley and wimmer. I got the top breather more for the added look. There are filters and unless you don't do the maintenance then once they fill up with oil they will eventually leak. I am always tinkering and don't expect my maintenance to go down and allow excessive build up. Won't be an issue for me.

It is true that if you want the low maintenance and easy set up go for the internal route. It is recommended to change them out once every 2500 or every oil change. I will just keep an eye and see how they do based on how I run my bike. I like the look and don't really care for the oil feeding into the motor anyway. Don't mind keeping up with the maintenance on the top breathers either. To eaches own. Those are not going to spray on motor though.
