    They certainly don't look like k&n to me.
    I'd say you've been done

    From the pictures I can find on the net, these do look like the stock filters. I switched mine over to K&N in 05 but the old memory is not what it was, so cant remember what the stock ones looked like.

    Just had an email back from him, he got them with his blade when he bought it and thought they had just not been fitted so sold them as unused k&n. seems like a genuine mistake and he said he will send refund. I'm a bit happier now :D

    Anyone know where I can get real ones cheap?

    No they are OEM, if like me you fit the K and Ns then put the stock ones in the box and hand to customer.

    I only get them from DynoJet and you can buy them cheaper than trade from eBay, I get very good deals on pipercross filters... Both are good but I have not seen more than 2 or 3 BHP from OEM to race! HRC race are ok for keeping chickens in....lol

    What would you say the best filter to go for is Arthur? Or is it more cost effective to stay OEM for the gains you get
