I ordered one from the Canada connection and it came from Italy(no stock) I also ordered another one from the manufacturer in Italy and now I have 2! my son's Sprint ST uses the same filter so we are all set.
they also have a cleaning and re-oiling kit u might want to order. PS one of those deals cost me 30 Euros for shipping so be careful!! They figure what ever for the "Rich Americans" I guess.

They look just like the K&N except they cost twice as much. BUT ,they are Italian and are used on Ferrrari F1 cars.

Good Question-I am planning to do some dyno runs at Steve Johnson racing (just down the road from me ) as soon as they get done with their drag racing season. I have some other stuff to try also and hope I can put it all together and answer some of these questions we all have. Wish me luck.

Thanks for the address Limey, but they are "closed until"
August 20th.

I just ordered one from Wolf/Peter Sorrell, his service was great for my cans and mid-pipe.

Hivel, i am in the middle of a nightmare concerning a current dyno session which I will report on later. In the meantime,
a Speed Triple owner and Triumph employee reports a measurable difference between the K&N and BMC. Depending on how things work out I might have dyno comparisons between them for my bike with a Power Commander ( or someone is going to get hurt----i.e.---------------I may have to send the Cheapbastard there to SING---) :evil:

I did a search on K&N VS BMC... It does seems the BMC does better overall... The real key to these types of filters is reoiling them. Most people WAY over oil them and create problems... I ordered a BMC awhile ago, still haven't recieved it. The Italians do things in their own time...
