Am I right to think that the Twin or Uni air require oil instead of the K&N?
And for the last time with or without the snorkel?

Thanks

I've gone with a Twin Air. Easy to oil and clean and you can carry a spare that's already oiled (ziplock bag) for those WE rides in the summer when the dust is really bad. The K&N is a good slab filter IMHO and THE filter for the SM set up, but in the dirt, foam rules.
