Hi Peoples.

I remember reading about someone in Oz doing K&N filters for triples, does anyone know how to get hold of them? Old filter (Such as it was from Slaters) finally fell to pieces, want to protect nice new bores.

Neil, are you talking about replacing the filter element in the standard airbox? I think Red might have some that he got from Clem. Or you can get a really expensive replacement from motalia.com in the UK, or OCT or Andy Wagner in Germany, or Wolfgang when he gets back to Canada.
Or you could do what Cam did in Taswegia, use the old plastic housing and sandwich a bit of air-conditioning filter medium into it. He swears by it, and he generally (often? sometimes? occasionally? :D :D) seems to know what he's talking about.
And if you search the archives, iirc I think there's some sort of European car filter that's pretty close, fits with minor modifications. Although that may have been for a twin. I use K&N individual pods so I'm not too up on OEM replacements.

I have a couple of Uni-Filters left here that come with a preset rev limiter of ~5,500 rpm
if I can find them you are welcome to them, they are rubbish

I use air con gauze on the standard airbox set up, same as Cam, which reminds me, Bevelman was supposed to be dropping off a roll

all my bikes are running Mikuni's so no airbox, am running DNA air filters



 
Thanks folks for the info, I should come up with something out of those ideas. I have looked for K&N that might fit, will try that one if available (in Launceston) or the air con gauze.

Cheers,
