Air filter spring

(1/3) > >>

Seabeowner:
Hi, Have three 500/550s and none have the air filter retaining spring. Need advice to make, as not great at this.
Channel looks to be about 13mm. What type of steel to use and approx what thickness (gauge). I can use the cmsnl pic for approx shape unless anyone has anymore detail.
Thanks, Phil

Johnwebley:
its a spring steel,about 1mm thick,

Trigger:
A CD250 and I think a XL125 are nearly the same and will work.

Seabeowner:
Thanks, I'll get some spring steel and have a go a forming a couple of bends...or I could go for something like this:

Looks like a bargain.

I still have the original in my bike. If you like, I'll take some photos of it against graph paper to give a rough guide for measurements and I can measure width, thickness, etc.

Just let me know if that's useful.

Alan
