Dude, stand up on the pegs in third gear around 100ks, bounce on em hard and as the suspension unloads crack the throttle. BINGO, wheelie in third in standard trim

$53 USD plus shippinf US$15-20 air post. thats about NZ$87.

Us Hornet owners should just combine forces here in NZ and buy three or four at once. You could proabably get the price down to $110???

K&N are poo.
You'd be better off buying a DNA, or some other aftermarket brand.
Just try googling for airfilter comparison tests: the K&Ns let more crap through into your engine (until they get dirty), and don't give the performance increases that they claim they do. For what they cost, you're just buying the name.
OK if you're really into brands, I guess...
