Default Not the blue filter!!!

I put on my SE stage 1 air filter kit this weekend and noticed that the filter that came with the kit was not the blue one that everyone says comes with the kit and falls apart. I was wondering if anyone knows if HD has fixed the problem with the filters and if the black one that I got with my kit is the fix?

From what I've heard HD is now using a filter that is not the blue one but it is not an oilable one either.

The black one is/was a replacement for the blue one that had a rotting/ quality problem. I had a black one but checked it with about 300 miles on it and thta one was falling apart. Went back to stealer to replace. I bought a K&N and use that instead. I'll use the HD paper one in between my K&N cleanings.

I have the black one. 47K miles and it still looks good when it's clean.[&:]
