CBR1000RR 04-07 which air filter?

I've been putting a few performance mods on the bike and before I get the bike in for a custom map for the PCV I need to get myself sorted with an airfilter.
What are peoples recommendations on which brand to get as i'm sure I read somewhere that the K&N for my model is more restrictive than the standard filters!
Has anyone got any experience or views of the BMC ones or pipercross?

 

Yep BMC are what you want or some race HRC filters cheap on ebay. Tbh the stock filters flow and work well...

Cheers for the reply mate, i've just had a look on ebay and can't seem to find any of the HRC filters have you seen any on there recently?

 

I had BMC on mine, it improves the induction noise no end

 

Bugger the guy I bought my full exhaust system from also had the BMC filters for sale and they only made £20+ post!! :frusty:

 

LOL typical mate, £20 is cheap for them, you should ave got your wad out

 

Yeh I know the guy had a few things finishing on ebay but all at the same time and at the time the exhaust was top of my list!

 

Seems ive sent you up the garden path...lol no they are not listed as you say, they have been on for months and months, they were pictured in hrc bags and listed as hrc race filters for rr6 7..

Thats no problem mate i'll keep checking to see if they come back up for sale, or if you should see them again i'd appreciate a link to them!

Stock. PCV with Yoshi RS-5 but use the stock filter

 

I see the HRC 07 style filters are back on ebay.

Fisher, do you know if yours we're road or race filters?

Ha ha, love it Arthur.

Is it worth putting a set of race filters in a road biased bike, or should I a) use road BMC filters or b) leave the standard filters in?

I've already removed the flapper door, so I have a nice flow up to the filters

 

Mate I only use mine on the road but as a petrol head the race filters suggest max power, I should run road filters as they require less cleaning and better filtering, however I still fitted race filters..lol. tbh the amout of power gain is prob not worth the extra cleaning and I do care for my motor and have been tempted to get some hrc filters... But to date I would still have to say I am impressed with the bmc's... No help am I...lol

I have a DNA air filter fitted and with my arrow system properly mapped...164.3 BHP......

 

I like a bit of willy waving..

RR7, BMC Race filters, Full Akra Evo Race, HRC stacks, poor mans HRC air intake, PCV and AT200, Stock engine 176bhp.. Have some RR8's...lol

 

I'd stick with the road version on a road bike unless you have a specific good reason not to.

 

Just passing on my own experience with a particular filter and what was acheived......no oneupmanship was intended ffs....geez talk about flame on!!!!!
