Get a standard one and change regularly. 

Better filtration and probably higher flow than a wash and re-use one.

Especially after the K&N/Pipercross unit's  been washed a few time.

haha stick it on ebay, I'm after one also - you may get a tenner :rolleyes:

I tend to stick with k&n's on bikes and cars just because I'm used to giving them a clean at service time.
Get the big recharge kit and it lasts for years. Been using them for over 20 years now never had any probs.

Paper filters are good and flow well, but only when new. The flow rates quickly drop.

got a pipercross one, along with a new unbutchered air box :D

cause apparently when drlling the airbox they thought it'd be good to drill the top too so unfiltered air was being drawn straight into the throttle body...

GENIUS!  :huh:
