These guys make a backing plate that comes with a genuine K&N filter, breather bolts and an internal velocity stack. They make some other killer air cleaners, too:

I wanted to keep the stock ham can cover on my bike but go with a high flow re usable air filter so I went with a stage 2 kits from those guys. The parts were high quality and good packaging and directions.

I highly recommend to take a look at what they offer. and they have great customer service ( I had a few questions and they answered right away)

Look at the Hurricane flow from NRHS, comes with a K&N, great quality and you can use the ham can cover with it if you want.
