Default Air filter

Anyone have the luxury of comparing the UNI air filter and the K&N for our bikes? I've got the UNI and its pretty good, but I'm a big fan of K&N products.

im runnin a K&N on mine.. no airbox lid and backfire screen removed from inside the filter mount. this setup requires frequent cleaning in dirty/dusty conditions... but man, what a difference it makes. (sry no uni for comparison, but i cant imagine a foamer would flow air better than a K&N)

More dirt--inevitable with the bigger holes for more flow.

I also have experience with both. The Uni will trap more dust, and the flow difference isn't even noticeable, alsothe Uni is easier to clean. I have K&N's with Outerwearson my 150HP Baja bug. The Outerwears make a big difference in trapping dust. They ane not practicle on the KLX.

There was somebody in this forum who stretched outwears material acrossan enlargedair box opening then bolted a square frame over the top to keep it in place. I guess that's one way of doing it.

neato thanks gang. I guess I'll just stick wtih that UNI. K&N might be better for more road travel with less mud/dirt, which isnt my style.
