CB750 K6 - Air Filters

(1/2) > >>

Hello all, getting excited about Christmas ???

So - I like the look of the 4 separate air filters people put on their bikes - the chromed ones - as opposed to the standard air box BUT my mechanic (top bloke in Kings Cross, London) reckons that it's not a good idea - they get wet, they are a pain to tune etc..... what do you all think ???

Thanks

Stu

"Pods" can be a pain to set up, and if they have the foam type filter wet can make a big difference, also personally I don't like the way the carbs hang on the inlet rubbers without the support of the airbox rubbers

I've never liked them either. Many of my mates in the 70's used them and they were always fiddling with their tune - trying to get the bloody things to run correctly.

Rejetting for a Piper exhaust was the limit of my skills (still is really...)

Folk have tried them on the cb1000 forum and they are crap.

OK, thanks guys (and gals - just in case!;) - pretty conclusive, they're purely aesthetic!

Will keep the Air Box on and live with it ... cheers all!
