Is this "performance filter" going to be any better than a standard one? It is more expensive, but not by much.
Mods thus far:

14 tooth front sprocket
Complete paint job, red to black
Oxford heated grips
Fenderectomy
GSXR foot pegs

...much more to come!

hmm. maybe if you had a machine to measure the flow of the filter at a very fine measurement, and a very high rpm.

i use ch6000f (or whatever the fram cheapo is) and haven't destroyed it yet. 2,500 miles between oil changes, and only do the filter every OTHER 2,500, myself.

get a 'premium' or whatever they call em if you like, but the cheapest filters have been fine for my bike/cars for over 1,000,000 miles now. :) (same goes with oil)

ive used those.  Cant tell the difference. As far as im concerned its more piece of mind then anything else.  The kn gives you that top name brand hope that what you are getting is best for your machine.    Either way as long as you have one in there its going to do the job..
