Sea Foam is good stuff. I've never used it myself but know people that have and never heard a complaint. I simply prefer Mystery Oil because I'm very familiar with it and have used it since the early 70's for everything from freeing rusted nuts and bolts to engine and transmission maintenance. The big difference is that Sea Foam uses different formulations for different jobs where Mystery Oil is one size fits all.
Hell......I filled the cylinders of a froze up Pontiac 400 that had sat out with no hood on the car and no cover on the engine for 7 years. I let it sit for 3 days then pulled the spark plugs back out then put a socket, 36" breaker bar and 4 foot cheater pipe on the harmonic balancer pulley. I didn't have to yank very hard before it broke loose and with 4 or 5 revolutions of the engine it was turning freely. Put some fresh plugs in, hooked up a battery and crossed my fingers. It rolled over for about 15 seconds then sputtered. 2 more tries and it fired up! I've been convinced ever since.
If SF is working for you then by all means keep using it!
As far as the air filters......I was a big fan of "green weenies" since I did a lot of off road and motocross riding. I replaced the stock filter from the air box on my 2 cyl Suzuki street bike with them. They WERE a bit of a maintenance issue though. I had to pull and clean them about once a month but they sure did catch EVERYTHING before it got to the carbs. K & N's weren't around at that time. If they were I would have used them.
The Honda filter you bought should last you 2 or 3 years depending on how much dust and dirt, pollen etc you ride through.
