New and improved BHAF
Amsoil p/n EaAU4091 installed in a modified BHAF heat shield. I like this filter better because it is washable, has a mounting stud, and fits nicer than the BHAF. Plus, the whistle is now louder.
I shoved a piece of 4" exhaust tubing about 1 1/8" long inside the neck of the filter to give the clamp something solid to clamp down on. For the cradle, I took a piece of 5" tube 1 1/4" long and sliced it in half. 1/4-20 nylock on the stud, and a long hose clamp around the cradle. This thing isn't going anywhere. Much nicer than the BHAF rolling around in there and rubbing on the airbox studs.

Filter retails for $92.xx plus shipping, which is about $7-$10. A friend and I went in on a pair, and by buying into Amsoil's Preferred Customer program, we got 2 filters shipped for $160. It's some deal that Amsoil offers where you pay $10 for a 6 month period that allows you to buy for 20-25% off. That made our filters like $69.75 each, plus 10 for the membership, and 10 for shipping. And a dollar-ish for an extra hose clamp to lengthen the one that comes with the filter to hold it down to the saddle.
Steel was some material I had laying around, as was the short pieces of tubing.
So, I have $80 into this setup. Not bad, since a BHAF is about $60.
