What air filter are you using?

I was just kind of curious what most people are running in their bikes. I have 12k miles on my stock foam filter and figure it's time to change it out seeing how dirty it is. I went ahead and placed an order for an UNI air filter.

I ran the K&N drop in air filter for one season. No noticeable difference for me either way but at the end of the season I noticed that the air filter cover was starting to warp due to the tight fit of the K&N. Took the K&N out and I hung onto the stock Kawasaki foam filter which is in there now. I bought a new foam filter from another brand that I'll be switching with the old Kawasaki one soon.

I use the drop in K&N. A small change in power. I got used to it quick. Got it in my truck also. Bought the Recharge kit so when i need to clean my truck filter, i could use it on my bike also.
