I recommend using the original Honda, or alternatively Hiflo
Totally agree. The Triumph T300's (older 90's Triumph's) forums and facebook pages are full of people getting poor running bikes on K&N pod filters, cut down airbox inlet tracts and all sorts. The advice every time is to go back to stock. The air inlet tract is so long it is behind the riders seat either side of the bike and is designed that way for a purpose. The airbox is a resonant chamber and plays an important part of the bikes inlet airflow. Mess with that and you mess with your engine. You will also get others claiming a 5HP gain while neglecting to mention that was at 9,000RPM with a massive hole in performance at 5,000RPM.
Great article, albeit a little old here: http://motorcycleinfo.calsci.com/Airboxes.html
