Default Which kind of air filter?

Should i stick with the stock paper type filter or go to the foam filter for the honda? Any experience with either? good? bad? my first street bike so, all i know is that the klx has a foam filter, 2 stage.... my thinking is that i can take the foam one out and clean it and reuse it, but not the paper one...im leaning towards foam....

because my honda is 28 years old i dont have the option of picking what brand i want, i gotta buy whats still made.... lol.... they still make paper, k&n, and foam... probably go with foam, so that i dont have to worry if the filters will still be made in a few years.

hmm, my first thought is paper! How many mud holes you plan on going through on the Honda?

Wouldn't air flow through paper better than foam with a buch of goo on it? Hmm....

If it is that old, it probably doesn't make a whole lot of difference.
