Bogs down after replacing air filter

2003 Geezer with 7,700 miles. Only mod is the 16 tooth front sprocket.

Hi everyone, looking for some insight. I just replaced my stock air filter with a HiFlo HFA3503 and the bike bogs down on acceleration. The old filter was pretty shot and I am assuming that the new one has greatly increased the air flow. I tried adjusting the idle speed up a bit, seemed to help some but there is still a real problem. Ran quite well before the replacement. Carb could use a good cleaning and maybe with the increased air I am now seeing the carb limiting the fuel supply??

Probably a dumb question but the stock filter had a plastic cone that angled the air intake and the new one does not. I actually pulled the stock cone off to see if it would mount with the new filter but it does not. Am I missing something simple here?

Thanks.
