I agree with djl. I don't see how that would be an improvement.

Default dont bother
unless you have changed the heads and pistons, dont waste your money, your stock heads wont move enough air for the larger intake to actually accomplish anything

The smaller intake will keep intake air velocity up and might even have a better TQ # than if you went to a 50

That is pretty much the recipe for my 2010 Street Glide with SE 255 cams and flat top pistons it makes 92 hp and 106 tq at the tire using the stock 50 mm throttle body and stock heads.
