There are more options than K&N.
Have you considered a Unifilter-brand filter. These are a foam element filter akin to what is used on motocross bikes. They claim to have equal flow as K&N with smaller particulate retention (20 vs 4 microns). I fitted one of these to my ED and was very impressed - notable increase in throttle response and better fuel economy. These tend to cost less than K&N and are an Australian product. |

I have one of those Lukey cotton filters and I must say I'm not too impressed with it. After the first wash it started to fluff up and held up to the light I'm starting to see daylight through it which makes me nervous, The fact that it's not oiled as well to help trap dust is a bit of a worry as well. I ended up getting an Airhog filter from Supercheap. They look every bit as good as a K&N for half the price. I got mine on special for $35 and am so impressed with it I bought another one next time they were on special. I just use the K&N recharge kit on them and they are fine. To the OP, have a look at an Airhog! Bushbasher

Yup, Fram. Hold one and a K&N side by side and apart from the colour, there's not alot of difference between them quality wise.
