BMC VS. K & N (air filters)
I have heard great things about BMC race filters. K and N will typically decrease horsepower right out of the box until you get a custom tune using a PCIII. I don't know exactly what BMC will do out the box but if you've ever seen one they're pretty thin.
I've ready several writeups on several CBR websites and they say K&N did not fair as well in increasing performance as the BCM so I purchased the BCM race filter. On one forum a guy posted runs of the bike before and after both airfilters were placed on the bike and the BCM was better by 1-2HP.
I have a K&N in my 600R and a BMC in my 929 and if I had of known about the BMC filters when I bought my 6 that's what would of been in it!
its better quality in my opinion

I might try the BMC then. Not too concerned about maximum HP gain (believe it or not [well maybe a little bit]), but don't have a problem trying something different.
