Also K&N don't list pod filters for the FZS1000 period, and now dont list ANY air filters for the FZS either.

@Vitman - as this is a fazer specific forum, what's the name of this "seller" on ebay?

Ivan told me they were now a poor design, I for some reason I just didnt believe it so I purchased some for myself. Sure enough, ivan was correct.
So I got the bmc instead, for my fzs1000. Im sure you've seen my bike on other forums etc.

Genuine K&Ns are much redder i.e. more of their red oil they look over oiled in fact straight out of the box, they're also not in the cheap cellophane crisp packet type bags, they're in proper quality poly bags with EU warnings etc. I'm smelling a rat here! Like the DID chains, NGK plugs, EBC pads that fooled many a retailer some years ago. If those are genuine, then just return them and I'm certain K&N will replace them and investigate.
I've forwarded your post to K&N importers and to K&N Engineering in the US who make them. if this is poor manufacturing or knock offs they need to know. I'm sure you've already done that? But nothing wrong with "being sure to be sure"
They were returned in January very quickly after they arrived. And you seem to have ignored the link to the video of the rattling k&n....
I smell someone who just likes to argue and be right 100% of the time.
You asked for proof and got proof, now you've changed your course of argument. What a guy!
