Default Foam air cleaner elements

Hi all, I have trolled the net looking for a replacement air cleaner element for my 04 Fatboy with little success - I cant believe there isn't one out there. Any ideas?

The thought of coughing up 50-70 bucks for a new element every time its due doesn't do it for me, I would rather spend the extra on a foam reusable one...

K&N for sure. Lasts forever. I can get you one at a discounted price. It is well worth the money. What kind of air box do you have on your ride?

K&N.... Foam filters may be eaiser to deal with, but (IMHO) they fall way short on engine protection. Spend once, cry once, on the K&N. Pick up the cleaning kit as well... And don't look back. Your engine will thank you!
