I've used K&N in my bikes, cars, trucks, etc. with good results.
They are priced about the same.
Read a posting somewhere that the K&N causes problems with the MAP because of oil, so the Green is preferred.
I don't get it. Both of these are rechargeble with oil.
What's the difference ?

The green filter is supposed to be more like a 'cotton-weave' construction whereas the red is more like open cotton.
Never used a green filter but have experience with red filters. It can cause contamination of the MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor. For details, read
MENU#4a on my web pages.
The test report referenced in the "Comments" section, shows real world tests on a series of cotton, paper and foam which will help you decide what filter to use.
