I would think any place that sells dirtbikes and quads would have Uni Foam filter Oil.

You guys know that the foam filters do a better job than the K&N if oiled properly right... K&N filters are known for letting a lot of dust and dirt into the engine. They make power due to the space in the filter. I've always had better luck with foam filters.

Paper filters more dirt than just about anything else but has the least CFM of airflow. Foam is a good middleground compromise but is known to degrade and break off tiny pieces that get sucked into the engine over time. I like the K&N style because they are the most durable over time, washable and reusable and still filter pretty good. Stainless steel mesh filters flow the best but filter the worst. Paper flows the worst but filters the best. Pick one that fits your needs the best.

FYI: Apexi makes a super high flowing filter that out filters and outflows just about anything on the market but they also sell for over $100 .
