I was wondering on peoples thoughts on what they think is the best air filter for them and their bike?

I know the style of riding makes a big difference, but what do any of you have, and how do you like it?

I have had a K&N---let sand in my motor, and had to rebuild the motor.

Curtis Sparks foam--did good, until it ripped while cleaning.

Now I have a white Brothers. It has been doing a good job.

I am going to be getting a new filter, but was not sure if I should get the same, or try another.

I ride mostly on beaches, and sand dunes, sand and dirt trails and dirt roads.

 

I just don't trust K&N's! I run UNI foam, and an EHS Racing airbox lid (http://www.ehsracing.com/) that has an Outerwears cover. The Outerwears takes care of the big stuff, so the filter only has to deal with the stuff that gets by the Outerwears.

Two cautions on the UNI filters. They come with a wire insert that replaces the very restrictive stock screen insert. The insert has a plastic collar that is square, but will eventually deform under the stress of the band that holds the filter in place. (This is something that UNI should definitely redisign, and make it stronger!) Inspect it often, and replace it when it begins to get tapered.

Also, even a foam filter will need to be changed frequently under severe conditions. I have 3 filters for each bike.......one on the machine, one fresh one oiled up and ready to go, and one in the wash.
