Ask and you shall recieve.
Out of the box, it is a very nicely constructed unit. The filter element reminds me a lot of the Bikemaster brand version of a K&N, and the construction as a whole seems to be of very good quality.
It is a washable/reusable filter, and if you added one of those pre-filter socks it would probably be ok off road, although I think I would avoid very dusty situations. The front end is even open with a reverse cone filter cap for a little more surface area. I don't doubt this filter will flow more than sufficiently for any bike here.
Fitment for my setup is absolutely perfect. I do need to slightly reloate my crankcase breather tube, but it isn't interfering too badly. As it sits in these shots it is not touching any other part of the bike. It is a little close to the side panel here, but I could also angle the filter down some and likely gain a little more room if needed.
I like this position personally, it keeps the element up higher and away from potential spray.
