Aftermarket Rplacement Air Filters

After cleaning out the carbs and getting it going last month, I just determined that my GS1000G in Oregon has no filter in the box. I intend to install one. I am leaning toward a Uni, because I have had good service with Uni pod type filters in the past, and I have found one at a reasonable price. It looks like OEM, K&N, Uni, Emgo, and at least one other sell (hopefully) direct replacement filters for this bike. The bike has new carb boots and O rings, the air box boots are still very pliable. It runs pretty darned well for not having a filter. Only very slighty lean off idle and at light throttle. K&N is close to 50 bucks, OEM around 60 bucks.

I'm happy with a decent running stock set up. I'm not looking for more power or a reason to rejet.

Any recommendations?
 
The Uni and K&N in-airbox type filters require an OE filter cage so keep this in mind if you go that route. The Uni is very similar to the OE filter so I'd go that route, assuming you already have the cage.
 
I went the route of buying uni foam sheets and cutting myself the right size. It was under 10 bucks but again... You need the cage.
 
I don't know if your 1000G wears the same filter cage as an 850, but if it does, I have a spare, along with the UNI filter foam. Look it up on the parts fiche and pm me if you're interested. Oh, the filter cages I have are one for an '81 850G and one for an '82 850. The boxes for the filters are similar but not quite identical.
 
OEM cage and foam are still on offer at PartShark:

FILTER
13780-45010 $46.64

ELEMENT
13781-45010 $24.58

The filter element comes pre-oiled.

I believe that if you buy the first part (cage), it includes the foam filter element as well.

The Uni filter element works fine. I have two that I rotate, since they seem to take forever to dry after being washed.
