The idea of my having to clean a K&N filter every two fill ups would drive me to drinking fermented coconut juice.
I did not use a K&N in Africa.

huh... seems K&N filters do better if you leave em alone after they get dirty. it's when K&N filters are freshly cleaned one has problems with dirt getting thru.
one of the best combo for reusable filters is to use a foam filter on top of a K&N.
not a big deal to clean... wash with most any solvent ... swing dry, then apply any type of light oil. if you don't have the special K&N oil. running a K&N filter on my Cummins diesel for 35,000+ miles without cleaning.
have not purchased one for my G/S yet... air filter is almost new still
