As pointed out above just about every unit on the market will flow more than your motor can ever use.
The ness will run about $120 shipped on ebay from easternpc.
The ness has a chrome ( not cast grey) backing plate which complements the motor- esp. where it attaches to the heads.
the ness also comes with a washable oiled filter ( like K&N, but not K&N brand)
the ness also installs easier as the throttle body mounting bracket stays in place unlike the HD.
...and uses the football cover- the football cover hides the ugly plastic plug and wiring at 9 o'clock as you look at the throttle body.
Some other air cleaners leave that exposed- the photos above are of an earlier model which has a different throttle body, have a look at yours and decide if you want that exposed

HD sells a chrome (with black alternative perhaps???) shroud for all that stuff. One is on my scoot, and they hide everything nicely.

That does look pretty cool, although RSD is a bit more money than performance machine. I like how the relatively small round design is balanced between the front and rear cylinder, more asteticly pleasing in my eyes.
