For my bike has RT-1 slip-ons but is otherwise mechanically stock as far as the engine goes. It's time for a new air filter. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on upgrades, but maybe up to $150 would be okay. Should I just get a stock replacement filter, or a K&N drop-in filter, or...

I've been using Fatmax Hardbags since Christmas of '05 from Fatmax.com. They really set the bike off, and come in real handy for keeping my rain gear, packing lunch to work, etc, and just look so much better than soft bags. Would not hesitate to buy from him again.:thumbs up:
