Was looking for a K&N filter that would fit in the OEM frame in place of the paper filter. Found one that fit with a little alteration to the frame and the removal of excess rubber around the filter without cutting into the filter material itself.
K&N #HA-1502
Once the filters excess rubber is trimmed off (I did it with a sharp butcher knife) its just a little longer than the window of the OEM. On the back side of the frame I cut off the side ends of the window that held the original paper filter. The K&N then fits in place and is easily affixed with some automotive silicone around all the edges front and back.
No more buying OEM filters.

Havn't noticed a difference in that regard. I'm not sure how much actual increase there is in airflow verses stock, but I wanted something I could clean and reuse rather than buying new filters at $35.00 a pop. I frequently ride on dusty roads and this helps mitigate the cost and ordering hassle of OEM filters.
