ick a top race team. MotoGP, Superbike, Supercross, Motocross, Flat Track, it doesn’t matter. All those teams, factory works and privateer alike, will most probably have one thing in common: K&N Filters.      When money is no object and absolute performance is the goal race teams demand the best and are willing to pay for it. But here’s the thing–the High Flow Air Filters and Performance Oil Filters those teams use are the exact same ones everyone gets, the very same filters that are on your shelf right now. With K&N everyone gets the best. K&N performance is universally available, across the board. It doesn’t take the financial backing of a factory works team to get it, either. Every K&N filter is competitively priced.
     There are applications for most everyone. New bike, old bike, street bike, dirt bike, ATV and MXer, they’re all covered. K&N’s High Flow Air Filters drop right into the OE airboxes for a no-hassle fit on the newest fuel-injected bikes and there are individual K&Ns for a direct fit on that row of four hungry carburetors on the older models. They’re all right there in the Parts Unlimited catalogs. Every one of those filters is made right in Riverside, California, and it’s undergone more development and testing than you’d ever imagine. K&N doesn’t sell something that’s almost right; it’s all or nothing, top performance in both filtration and airflow or it’s back to the drawing board and test lab. The sizes and depths of the filter elements, the design and construction of the base and cap and even the number of pleats for those multiple layers of impregnated cotton gauze are all carefully tested and fine-tuned until they’re absolutely correct. K&N even hand-counts each pleat in a new production run of filters to make sure it’s exactly the same as the one approved in the test lab. And everyone, top racers and ordinary riders alike, get the same thing. K&N doesn’t play favorites and doesn’t have to.
     It’s the same story with those K&N Performance Oil Filters. They’re the overwhelming choice of top race teams, too, because every K&N Performance Oil Filter is “race spec.” It offers 20- to 30-percent more filtration than an OE-replacement filter and most important in today’s engines K&N uses a special resin-impregnated Synthetic Media that won’t break down filtering synthetic oils, something ordinary paper-element filters are prone to. K&N oil filters have a heavy-duty steel body for a higher burst point, there are pressure relief and anti drain-back valves and there’s a handy 17mm hex nut on the end for easy installations and removals, cross-drilled for safety wiring. K&N pre-lubes the base gasket for a leak-free seal and there are applications for everyone, race, street and off-road.
     You don’t have to be a big-name race team to get K&N’s best–all you have to do is call your rep. K&N is available directly through Parts Unlimited.

Remember that with every one of those K&N High Flow Air Filters that you sell, a K&N Service & Recharger Kit should go along with it. Remind your customers that proper maintenance can add years of life and service to an air filter.
