Search for RU-2454.  They should be 44mm ID, oval and with a rubber end cap.

Later, Doug

If you go to K&N's website you can select by model or generic for custom applications

No, not Chinese. I tossed my K&N filters years ago, in favor of APE's. They have a better design of the mounting flange and wider clamps than K&N. 

Please note that the 42mm ones are round, not oval.

K&N's should be oiled (ideally with K&N's own filter oil)

Maxima, Motul, PJ1, and UNI also sell reusable filter spray oil.

Accel also use to sell it, I still have a can from over 30 years ago.
