With a K&N it'll be the last air filter you'll buy. One K&N = 2 stock ones price wise. The stock filters are pretty much good for a couple average riding seasons. But if you want to get more out of your ride a porting and rejet will really do the trick. But that's on another post.

I think there is a set for sale in the Forum classified's.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #278343 lloydh72 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 27 Re:changed from stock filter to k&n; air filter 7 Years, 10 Months ago   did u have to do any rejetting or do u just put them on and go? those r for a 08-09' roadstar, i have an 06'.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
