Don't scrimp...air is critical to performance. HD Heavy Breather is another great option...JMO.

I believe I'll go with SE round stage 1. It's $150 at the dealer, minus $15 for military discount, minus $19 I have on a gift card. Minus $45 from where I just returned a air intake from ebay that said it was for my motor, but wasnt!

So $71 for it and hopefully that have it in stock and I can have it that day!

My DK Customs Outlaw HiFlow 425 complete system and Brass Breather bolts are in the mail as we speak. I choose the smaller one as it has no airflow disadvantages over the larger 587. I got sick of that big ham can that HD calls an air cleaner which is really just a big oil collector and bug funnel if you ask me. I went with flat black because I can either put a decal on it or simply paint it another color if I choose.

I also figure out depending on wind direction that ham can especially running a windshield deflects air right up your nose and cause buffeting.
