I can believe that I just paid £35 for a genuine oil filter on my new van just to keep the warranty going Then the garage wanted £425 just to change the oil
My project bike is on the way, but I know it has not got an airbox and had some grotty pod filters which will not be left in place. They don;t look fit to filter air let alone dirt .... but the question is...what's the best route to go. Originality says airbox, but I have had a brief trawl on E-Bay and not seen any F2 items for sale. Obviously, I would need a set of carb-box rubbers too as well as an element. Are these crafted from rocking horse poop...or just one of those thigns that come up if you look long enough?She is going to get a light cafe racer makeover, so I could go for pod filters again, but I have had issues with these things in the past. Admittedly it was with CV carbs, which do not mix well with pod filters unless you like an overly rich midrange and lots of popping on the over-run...as well as wet running issues. I understand slide carbs are a bit easier to setup ass they are less reliant on intake pressure to work right. That was with old school K&Ns before the foam 'Ramair' type came out as well. Either way....I won't be looking at the cheap Chinese unbranded ones.I also have no idea if the jetting is stock...but will be looking at the matter when I pull the carbs apart for a thorough clean and check. Somewhere in the shed lurks an old set of vacuum gauges too, which will need fresh pipes but should work.
well..I am going to give the airbox a spin first....but nothing is set in stone.
I know what you mean...but in reality...if I do go the bellmouth route, I would still want an airbox at home in case I ever chose to put it back to stock.
Why's it listed as a KW4 if it's an early filter?
