Air filter spring

<< < (2/3) > >>

matthewmosse:
As its function is just to push the air filter against the far face of the filter chamber, anything that gets that done is going to be ok. I have on one of my cb550s just wedged a bit of wood behind there, bike ran just as well, if not better than the similar cb550 that sported the correct spring.

Woodside:
As always Matt you are the voice of reason...if it works ?

That is unbelievable seeing you can sill get the OEM one for about £7.Part No, 17217-385-000

Seabeowner:
Alan, If you take a pic of the profile (or draw around) with a rule or tape alongside and post it it would be useful. I am going on the material being about 13mm wide and 1mm thick unless you tell me otherwise.
Thanks, Phil

Honda Al:
Here you go, hope this helps. No picture but the thickness measured 0.75mm.

Alan
