It's all VFR (DCT) round here now. STILL missing my 1100s tho.

Val singletons filter mod( do a search) or san Jose filter. No block filters and you run a air duct as is required. Or stop being lazy and service your filter more often. Removing ducts and fitting socks is backward engineering...
All the best
Gus


Gus, did the search.....nothing came up. Can you elaborate on what this is?

Aaaaah El Nicko. Just knew you'd find a way. :) Cripes - for a second I thought it was something else you'd bent them with ... :oops:

BTW - have you managed to reduce the diameter?

Val Singleton's great the filter can fill totally with wasps stones etc and still breath better than the stock filter
But remember if your bike run's lean before doing the mod it will run leaner after an accelerator module will sort that and improve fueling throughout the range

Wasn't a problem John, they just fit. Haven't been out on it yet but because I've left the trunking off the induction noise is satisfyingly LOUD!
