The OE ones are only a few quid from any Honda dealer, to be honest most of us will already have or need to replace them, this is due to the age of the bikes, age just makes those little filters perish, for any new members, or anyone that doesn't know what the hell we're on about, it's the 2 little triangular filters at the front and diagonal opposite rear of the air box just under the main air filter, you'll probably find they just crumble in your fingers when you try to take them out, Item 10 in the picture below, named as sub air filter.
Yes I know people will come on and say you can by similar foam on ebay for pennies and make your own, but unless I'm making big savings for an equal product I'd rather just stick to original equipment :thumbup:
I've heard it too many times, people complaining of bike not running right, fuelling wrong etc. only to find they've been using cheap inferior parts off ebay, false economy in my book :thumbdown:
Oh and while I'm on the inferior parts subject, in my opinion, for what it's worth, anyone buying cheap Chinese parts must be blind, mad or on a death wish :lol:

Oops I think I got a bit carried away there, from a man who likes to stick with OEM oil filter and air filter. I think the same should apply as you rightly say Kev.

I think I got carried away with the price for the foam in that link, as Honda want something like £6 each for the genuine bits of foam, which is far to much IMO, but then they do last a fair time.
