    Hi, What's the best air filter to fit to a 2010 Blade ? or is the O.E filter just as free flowing ?

    I've seen people using BMC,K&N,Pipercross, but wasent sure what was the best.

    The only mods on the bike is a R-77 slip on ,Power commander 5 and a 02 Eliminator.

    Any opinions would be welcome.


    Cheers

    Grant

    I've got a BMC, only because I had one on my 08 blade and was happy with it, so got another one for my 13 blade. Otherwise cut the clips off the metal sheet on the oem and remove the metal sheet, lets in more are, but still stops all the crap

    K&N race as it compliments the exhaust Arrow full race system. The finer mesh and its increased airflow mean higher maintanence, the road version is a bit more robust.
    I've got and had K&N on all my bikes and cars even my diesel pickup trucks. They are so easy to maintain spray them with the cleaner, rinse off, dry and spray with the oil, the more oil they build up the more efficiently they work (untill gacked up with shite). If looked after they will last the vehicles lifetime and you can clean them as often as you like. The cleaning kit does umpteen cleans for £15 ish. Whats not to like?;)
