Pipercross air filter

looking to replace my air filters and came across these on e-bay Kawasaki ZX12R B1H,B2H 00-06 PIPERCROSS AIR FILTER on eBay (end time 07-Feb-10 19:07:39 GMT)
just wondering if anyone has used these,£40 seems a good price but i can get k&n for £45.
cheers dek

I haven't heard anything bad about the Pipercross filters - Many here change to K&N (or other brand), but few have good things to say about the stockers!!

Wouldn't risk it, stick with what others use, BMC's seem best down to good design & fit but more expensive than the K&N's which with a bit of fiddling & grease fit fine and do the job.

Bought my BMC race filters through Bristol Kawasaki for £70, that was a couple of years back though.

Just put a new set in my 2000 12r and I had to trim the rubber to get it to fit. I greesed and everything.I was not happy having to do so! you would think that u spend a lot of $ they would fit right.
