Not saying not to do them. We all do! So just pick the intake and exhaust that looks the way you like. I do like DK Customs intakes or at least the kits they sell to stop oil going back into the air intake.

Nicely put and understandable. I can get the exhaust and filter in the stock (tti and kn filter). The cam will need some thought as we have very few guys with the know how to do the precision work needed.
So guess we are stuck to bolt on parts only, waiting for dk customs to chime in. Let's see how we go

I do all my engine mods my self with the exception of head work. I farm that out to hammer. DK is a parts seller. Hammer is a full performance shop and engine builder. They also design and make a lot of their parts as well.

Having read what I want could you provide me with the specifics ?
I have been going through the link you sent and wind up a bit more confused. I want a bone stock look (minor's like the external breathers don't count ) no other changes to show her performance till I rip it.

What you can do is get an Outlaw 587 with a black or chrome bobber cover, and that will give you a quality intake with an EBS...but it will look very close to OEM with one of those bobber covers. Here is a LINK to the Black Bobber 587.
Or, if you prefer to use the Sporty Ham Can cover, you can get the Outlaw 828, again with the EBS, and use the OEM Ham Can cover, as pictured below. You can see it at this LINK. This will give a stock look. Both of these options look stock, but will support a built (sleeper) engine or anywhere in between.

I guess we have not done a good job at showing off our shop.
90% of all the parts we sell, are designed by us, and many patents held by us. We manufacture them ourselves in our shop, right here in the USA.
A couple of videos of our shop in Red Banks, MS, just 50 feet from where I'm sitting as I type this.

DK Custom & Hammer are not in competition. Less than 1% of what we build crosses over with what they do.
At DK we design & manufacture over 1100 parts for Sportsters, Dynas, Softails, Baggers & Trikes. Our focus is building parts that have a Lifetime Warranty and Improve Safety, Handling, Reliability, Performance & Make for a More Comfortable Ride.
For folks that have Sportsters, and want something more in engine performance than the Best Stage I upgrade available, Hammer is a great place to go.
As you state, they are engine builders, with a primary focus on Sportys. That is their business, and they are good at it.
We are not engine builders. We focus on the entire bike, including, but not limited to great Stage I upgrades, which is where the majority of Harley owners stop on engine upgrades. Our Stage I upgrades are also a solid foundation for those who want to go on to a Stage II & up.
On one of my personal Sportys (that started life as an 883L) I have and NRHS 1250 kit, built on top of one of our Stage I Kits. That was installed before Hammer is what they are today. Today, if I were to do a 1250 or 1275 build, I would do the same thing I did before, but with Hammer.
But for the other 300+ parts we make for Sportys, not going to find them at Hammer, just like you're not going to find 1250 or 1275 kits from us...we don't even sell cams! But we do make a ton of other parts that enhance the riding experience. You can see them HERE.

Last year I was in Mississippi on business and having purchased products from DK previously wanted to see their business. Got off the big road and headed to Red Banks. Really small town and drove past the place, Called em on the phone and asked "where the heck are you". Shortly we found it. A very unassuming building with some very helpful employees. Didn't get a chance to meet Kevin but came away with a good feeling about their dedication to their mission of designing quality products.
