    K&N works great, you should also do the open air box mod and breather re-route before your dyno run also. There is a bunch of posts on here about how to do those mods.

    k&n highflow filter...but this is no use if you do not have an open airbox as bpg mentioned.

    and when you are doing that, the breather re-route is a simple extra with very good results, as bpg also mentioned :p

    I wish BMC made a filter for us but I haven't found one yet.

    Taken straight from the Buell website. Pretty much same as K&N from what I understand.

    Yes but BMC doesn't make a filter for our bikes. It is similar to a K&N just much better. I know from experience in my Gixxer that the BMC was much better than the K&N that was in it when I got it.

    Sorry, by BMC I thought you meant Buell Motorcycle Co. Never heard of BMC filters. Time to educate myself:p
