Personally, I don't care for K&N products.
I use only Honda OEM oil filters (and air filters) and I've never had a Honda oil filter back off or fail.
K&N air filters are popular, but I don't care for them. They don't fit the air box properly leaving air gaps which defeat the whole purpose.
The K&N installed in the 2000 VFR800 I bought last year had warped the air box cover so bad I had to heat the edges with a heat gun and press down on the cover on a flat surface.
The other issue with K&N is that most owners over oil them. It really only needs a misting of oil to catch the dirt.
