I'm looking at these K & L oval air filters for my 80 gs1100. I can't find any info on them anywhere on the internet. Are they cheap knock offs like Emgo or good quality for a reasonable price ($19.99 each)

In my opinion cheap is cheap. I bought k&n ovals at K&n. $79 and you will know the difference. Super product.

knock off's are bad (I hear). I always go with quality brands anyway. Vance and Hines or K&N are two that I know of. I have some vance and hines from my gs750e that I am getting rid of, but they aren't in that great of shape. let me know if you are interested

Well, this is what the write up says "The most advanced air filters available. Integrated V & H velocity stack cuts turbulence, aids air flow tapered oval design. Recommended for use with aftermarket exhaust and/or carbs. Requires jetting change on stock carbs."
What do you think?

The good ones need to be oiled. Do these?

The real K&N filters can be had for under $120 shipped, cheaper if you're patient.
On the other hand, if your stock airbox is good, stay with what you have and save all the trouble rejetting.

It doesn't say to oil them but then again it doesn't say not to.

If they don't mention it, odds are they do not use oil.
I would (and did) play it safe and go with the K&N pods. I have also heard good things about the APE units (not quite as expensive), but have never seen nor used any. Not sure if those are available in your neck of the woods.

I love my APEs. tried to get the tuning right with cheapo pods, never quite could get it dialed in. The APEs made the tuning cake!

fwiw if you watch Amazon the K&Ns occasionally come up cheap. I got mine new for $35 shipped for all 4.
