Cone filters

SteveD CB500K0:
K&Ns were our choice back in the 70's

You will need to re-jet the carbs though.

Mozza:
Think I'm gonna have to give k&n a call they don't seem to have them on the website at least not for my bike, although I think I'm thinking a bit far ahead yet I have only just stripped the bike down ready for sandblasting. I'm just seeing what my options are.

florence:
I use SB filters on mine and I must say they are marvellous.

Mozza:
Which ones do you use? First time I have ever heard of that company. If you don't use the standard airbox how are they mounted?

matthewmosse:
Custom fastners in Newtown sell S&B filters plus a few other goodies for the 500/4 like shock absorbers. Be aware that to fit S&B filters you'll need to kinda squash them sideways to clear the frame. I fitted a set for a while but decided the re jetting was too much of a chore so went back to standard kit (still got them in a box somewhere along with a custom battery and elecctrics boxes that were to go on a 550 chop I gave up on). I mainly got them as I was testing a few unknown engines in the bike and was right royaly fed up with fighting the standard airbox into place. Another place I think is closer to you that may well be worth a visit is JW motorcycles near Borth. He builds racing speck frames for classics including the 500/4 as well as stocking a good range of parts. Also knows his onions when it comes to older (and probably new) bikes.
