Cone filters
SteveD CB500K0:
Not difficult, but if you haven't got a dyno, it's trial and error.
Getting carbs on and off is the worst bit.
Mozza:
Yeah It was a bit of a pain taking them off the first time I can see it becoming a nightmare if I have to do it 3 or 4 times.

If you're cafe racing it I've just ordered a set of these http://sohc750.net/shopping/steel-dragon-performance/original-velocity-stacks/ for $88 for four delivered and including gauze and set screws. That's actually around
Mozza:
Nice I bet they are loud, was toying with the idea of velocity stacks but they will probably only have a small protective screen over them stopping dirt and other grime getting sucked into them won't they? And not a proper air filter element. I live in the countryside where the roads suck and are always covered in dust, mud etc. Let me know how they sound though with a set of aftermarket pipes I bet it's amazing.

OOh dear...gotta say I'm not with you on this. I hate those K&N S&B filters. The induction racket (I wont even say noise) is just horible. A mate of mine bought a 79 GS750 a few years ago and it had those bloody things on. First job was to source an original airbox. Not easy.
a) To get rid of awful whaaa! whaa! induction rwharp horible noise... :o
b) So it carburated properly across entire range ... main jets only fix a minor % of carburation, for road use its almost everything but the main jet that you need to get right.
