    Very informative video @tuktuk . I ventured on to watch Part 2, and interestingly, in the summary, the guy rates the K & N in second place after bagging it in Part 1 because of the spot welds holding the 'nut' in place fracturing under torque:rolleyes:.

    For me, I'll stick with OEM.

    look up purolator (or something like that)
    shipping would be an issue though.
    OEM or Hiflow would be my second choice

    I hear of Purolator ( http://www.pureoil.com/ ) all the time on the MV Forum. Those guys (mostly USA based) swear by them!

    Yes unfortunately cannot get them over here without £10's in shipping + VAT of course
    I am tempted to to ask friends or family going to the us get some for me.

    I can't be sure, but I think so. The 'Pro Honda' might just be an American trade name.

    I wonder if the learned @Spygoat might add further?
