Default Is this a good AC w/ V&H Shortshots?

So I'm looking to go with some Vance & Hines Shortshots on my newly acquired 2006 883. I already have the re-jetting materials on hand and am wondering which high flow AC to go with. Is this one below from Lick's a good one? It scares me since it's pretty cheap. TIA!

Looks good, is there really a bad one? I mean are you really looking for performance or just a change in appearance? If you are looking for a change in appearance and maybe a little more juice then go for it! I wasn't so concerned about performance so I went with the V&H Duke in flat black!

I'm mainly looking for a decent Stage 1 upgrade for my air cleaner. I'm also not looking to break the bank.

I also like the Arlen Ness Big Sucker Stage 1. Does anyone know which covers will fit that style air cleaner? The ones on Ness's site are way too expensive I feel like. Thanks again,

Matt

Please do that. I am planning on doing the same install here in the next few weeks (V & H shortshots, carb rejet and free flowing AC). Also let me know which jets you end up using, we are close in location and elevation (I'm in Richmond, Va). TIA
