I like those big K&N filters personally. The tall ones that you can fit ram tubes under, not the pancake ones.

Not yet, but I will be eventually. Cheapest place I found to buy them was direct from K&N website in the US, free shipping and they were here in about a week. They look the business too.

Those k & n filters won't fit an A series as the spacing between the carbs is too narrow. The filters would overlap each other.
I have them on my l20b with ramtubes inside them.
You could make a new back plate with an offset so they don't clash if you were really keen
