Noraly is quite hardcore, I am a fan of hers for sure....

I can highly recommend a Skwoosh gel pad. The pad fits perfectly, performs excellently regarding comfort and it is very well made: Here is the link to the one I bought/use: https://skwoosh.com/mid-size-motorcycle-gel-pad-with-breathable-mesh/

An excellent alternative and quite similar to the Optimate, the NOCO Genius2 maintains and has a desulfate function as well: https://no.co/genius2

Thanks for that clarification, I was just now questioning my memory a bit.... o_O

I did not take pics. There was nothing in the flanges of the upper and the lowers. The OEM air filter has a raised ridge on the top and bottom that fits into the upper and lower halves flanges which allows it to sit fit flush in the air box.

Yesterday with some help from a friend I finally got around to replacing the air filter on my '13 S10. I bought the bike used in '18 with a smidge under 7K miles on the clock. It now has 16K+. I am pretty sure the P/O never replaced the air filter. I ordered the OEM air filter from my go-to...
