Trying to find the correct Air Filter Element

When I got my KZ750 it had an air cleaner element that was black foam all the way around. I bought a replacement for my bike (I thought) on eBay and it is one with the accordian filter inside a metal circle mesh. It also does not fit in the air intake box.

Anyone know where I can find the correct filter replacement? My local Auto shop can't even order them. :angry:

The foam filter was probably a UNI filter (aftermarket), the stock filter is folded paper inside a perforated metal shell.
The stock filters show up on eBay from time to time, I just bought one there.
Other than eBay, I have been unable to find any stock filters for the 750 twins.

You only have to buy it once.
