Cone filters
matthewmosse:
It's why most of my bikes are pre 85 models, bypass a whole lot of the rules, I di ironically run with most of the things that you can get away without though. It just means if something stops working then I can pull it off to get an mot rather than fix a niggling electrical problem, a worthwhile concern if you only have a bike licence and don't particuarly like getting cold in the shed. I ride the wheels off the bikes in winter (minimal maintenence) and spend summer fixing them. Ironic factor with this, my 1974 honda has suffered less from a decade of all year riding in terms of rust than my 125 rebel that I'm using as a stopgap til I get some shedtime. That's needed welding in both of the last 2 winters. I geuss that quality must have been better.

ok then im sold i think i will get some. does anyone know where i might be able to buy them?? the bike i bought didnt come with an airbox or filters at all (or mirrors, indicators, most of the wiring......the list goes on) so i would probably be saving money and time just fitting the cones.
florence:
I can sell you a standard airbox if you want one, that would be cheaper I would have thought. Make me a sensible offer.
If you use a standard airbox you won't have to play around with different jets in your carburettors.
I've also got a mirror, indicators etc, let me know.
Mozza:
if they are all standard parts im going to have to pass i'm afraid as im turning it into a cafe racer. so bar end mirrors, led indicators etc is what im going for which was also one of the main reason for the cone filters as it would beef up the noise and give me a bit of a boost (however small it may be) in power.
florence:
Good idea, I prefer non standard which is why I have a standard airbox spare and not on the bike. I bought it in a job lot of spares and wouldn't dream of fitting it.
However, I am sure it will be very useful to someone.
