I ordered mine from solomotoparts.com! It was $55.95! I pretty much get everything from there!

My K&N - the tabs are too close to the body of the filter - and you have to really use some muscle to get it in there - pushing it back while pressing down - once it was in - all good

I had no problem putting mine in, the tabs went in pretty easily! Hopefully I'm not F*$ked up!

maybe that's why mine was on ebay - although the plastic bag was still factory sealed - not sure

Is there any noticible gain in acceleration with the intake? Is it actually an intake or just a less restrictive filter?

A less restrictive filter, have no before or after comparisons.

I haven't noticed any! K&N is just a trusted name, plus it is reusable! So I figured it wouldn't hurt to get it! Plus I have a problem spending money on my bike! I find parts and save the money for them.........after bugging the Crap out of my wife for the OK! (She doesn't wear the pants in this house!)

I have a question for those of you that use a K&N filter. I know it it reusable, but I have read the the materials you need to clean it are a bit expensive and time consuming. Is this true? Thanks!

same here lol

the number of folds in the K&N are fewer - therefore I am assuming airflow is increased without losing filtering ability

I feel like the K&N added a bit of low-end torque, but that could be all in my mind. Either way, a lifetime warranty + a trusted brand is enough to justify the upgrade for me.

No, its not difficult. And all you need is the cleaner/oil solution, it comes in a spray can. Time consuming?....No, but you do have let it dry for awhile.

I can't remember how much it costs, I bought it back when I had a modded car, but it isn't too much. And it will be enough to clean it many times.

You buy and aerosol can of oil from K&N for aroundA$20 (probably heaps less in the State $10?) and you supply a hose and water yourself. I have one for the car. Beyond any marginal improvements, on an economical basis it is worth it.
