^ Nice one!
lifetime supply for 3.99US

search per "oil bath air filter foam" brings up several ideas..from a pdf, apparently "polyurethane" is correct vis a vis
"1.1
Types of Air Filters
There are many types of air filters are in use most common types are as follows:
A.
Foam
Another automobile air filter element is Oil-wetted polyurethane foam. previously Foam was used as
air cleaners on small engines like lawnmowers. Foam filters are widely used on air compressors for air tools up
to 5Hp. Depending on the grade and thickness of foam used, this type of filter can offer minimal flow
restriction. the dust is captured on foam filters, large amounts of dust trapped without major change in airflow
restriction. Example: off-road rallying, motorsport."

That certainly IS a great price! The local Tractor Supply store wanted $20 for a piece that size.

Yesterday I pulled the trigger on this air cleaner element on Ebay. Was in the right price range and free shipping to my US mail box.

I am constantly amused by newer owners that say something along the line of "I got the bike almost free, I don't want to spend that much for a new part" or "that will cost more than I paid for the bike".

A better way to approach that is: you paid less for the bike, that leaves more in your budget for parts and/or tools. If your budget isn't large enough to cover what it's going to take to get the bike going safely, you might want to re-evaluate whether the bike is the right choice.
