Interesting.
Seems like a lot of work.
Installing the flat K & N that fits the Silverwing application should insure more than ample air flow unless you're modding your engine with either turbo or super charging.
The limiting factor to air flow after installing the specified K & N is probably valve diameter, intake tube diameter, exhaust pipe diameter, and valve duration, rather than air filter restriction. I really don't think using an oversize cone filter will do anything unless you address the other restrictions to air flow first.
Of course, only flow tests will confirm my suspicions.
Test away and report back.
