Ramair foam filters flow much better than K&N`s,S&B`s etc.
I`ve used them a fair bit over the years but I`ve also made my own filters from airfilter foam sheets that are readily available from the car tuning shops that spring up everywhere.
A pair of scissors,contact adhesive and old carb to airbox rubbers are all you need to make up your own,it`s far from rocket science.
Mist them with silicon spray before use but not visibly wet or it`ll soften the glue.
My Skorpion runs a pair of Mikuni`s with a `modified` airbox and dual density filter foam I cut to fit an old air cleaner housing,(cut the folded paper element out with a craft knife),flows a treat and is so easy to clean too.
I`ve got one in use while a second is already clean and ready to swap over,takes two minutes.
Had some beautiful spun alloy bellmouths on my 41 mm Dellorto`s that were fitted to my Guzzi Le Mans,topped off with stainless steel laboratory mesh sieves sandwiching the foam that clipped on snugly over their ends,can`t remember the mesh size I used off the top of my head but they worked a treat for years and everyone was always asking me where they could buy some.
This will give you an idea of what I`m talking of:

I can remember my old man using the nylon from ladies stockings over his bellmouths,also remember them being holed now and again by flame `spits` back through the carb if the advance was out on the ignition timing too.
Foam filters are bloody expensive for what they are in my opinion.
