well the general concensus on the age old debate of k&n vs uni is this:
in all out performance, k&n flows A LITTLE better.
however, as soon as a k&n gets wet, it becomes nearly useless.
for mud and wet applications, UNI IS SUPERIOR, however, for street and sand applications, k&n will offer a little better performance.

I prefer K&N! When used with a outwears cover and oiled properly they can't be beat. I have run K&N on everything from riding lawn mowers to diesel race trucks and have never had a issue! When used with a proper exhaust system nothing will flow more air more efficiently!

I'd go with UNI undoubtedly...I have one for my LTR because I'd rather spend time riding than cleaning/oiling my filter constantly, especially in the spring when it's really wet and muddy.
My friend on the LTRcentral forums had a Velocity filter (same design as K&N, a little bit more flow) and you could see the dust that it let in, even when properly oiled.
I wouldn't risk it - the UNI offers better flow and better protection than the stock filter, and really offers peace-of-mind when you're riding on a muddy trail or whatever. I'd run a K&N in a street bike or a car... but not anything where it can get muddy or wet.
