    I have used K&N on all my vehicles with no issues.

    It's a 900 thunderbird sport.
    They don't, never have I believe, sell just the filter. Only the whole airbox!
    And the carbs need removing to get to that!

    Yes and that's a bugger of a job. :mad:
    You can split the air box and fit a K&N type filter though.

    I've always gone K&N for road bikes and Pipercross for my off-road ones... seems to work for me!

    I went for K&N.
    But I think either would have been an improvement!
