R1 Air Filter

Hiya

I'm fitting R1 carbs to my Pinto and need to find an air filter.

I assume I can't just buy a K&N like I would for a car? So what are my options?





Are you a Mac user or a retard?

a blank backplate and a sausage filter would be the easiest, either from ITG or Pipercross

Hi Andy
here's one possible solution for R1 carbs
http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/photos.php?action=showphoto&photo=filtback.jpg
I turned the carb input diecasting on my lathe to make it a bit more "trumpety" & screwed on the sausage filter backplate.
BTW those screws do NOT want to come out....
cheers

Bob - are you not worried about those cross heads vibrating loose and dropping down the trumpets ?

Yo Jim,
They originally used the loctite from hades - (what I mant about them being evil to remove) when I've found some rubbery stuff for the back of the plate I'll do likewise!
cheers
