Counterfiet air filter(?)
 
So I have always had a k&n, but always wanted an oem air filter. Sooo.....saw this one on ebay. It says on the ad manufacturer honda.

BUT I just got it and its in a box that says european filter. I think it is just supposed to be oem spec, which should be fine. It has a paper element and the 2 triangle openings blocked off.

Anyone have an opinion or seen these before?

Gonna put it in and report on findings. My pair is gone and bike pops on decel but I kinda like the sound. (although it cant be doing my carbon cans any favors)

OOPPS. I am an idiot......here is the link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/150763449761...#ht_1709wt_916

Probably a pattern filter at that price. If you want a genuine OEM Honda part best order from your local Honda dealer.

Im running it, looks exactly like the Emgo filter I bought. Bit less quality than oem, but not bad at all as far as fitment.

Emgo or HiFlo......

Saige thats interesting, didnt see that one when I looked.

SO I put it in instead of my k&n. Seat of the pants dyno says it is an improvement. Seem to throttle more crisply. Less popping on decel but I dont hugely care about that. I like the feel alot and it looks to be similar to an oem so guessing similar flow.

So if anyone wants a good inexpensive filter, I like this one. Cant speak to its longevity yet.
