Not on your list: OEM is the best.

Agreed, OEM is best. I like the K&Ns because they have holes on the top nut to wire it down, but otherwise I'd recommend OEM. They've got sets of em on eBay where it comes out to $9 or so per filter.

I use a pipe strap to safety wire my filters. If placed correctly, and tightened, you don't even need the safety wire.

Hmm... that's an idea. Thanks for the tip. I'm not quite in the fast enough group to be worrying about this, but I'm sure once it comes to that point it'll come in handy.

Tango,
I am the tech director at Fram. We do not make the Honda motorcycle filter but we do make the Honda pass car filters. Our MC filters are 95% efficient and flow very well. We prove them in motorcycle road racing every weekend on our sponsored bikes, you can read about them at this website-
419 Racing
Cheers
