ZX6r Carbs. Which air filters?
I have zx6r carbs for my 1.8 zetec but have no air filter. They are 'Keihin' type carbs. Just wondered what my options are? And are most
bike carbs the same?
I like the look of 4 individual filters but one big one would be cool as well.

4 individual filters eg filter socks said not to flow very well better off with a single sausage filter.

I have zx6r carbs and use a sausage filter which workd well. I used the bike airbox backplate to mount the sausage filte backplate to in order to get
a better seal.
You couls also get [expensive] or make an airbox and use a large cone filter.

i think i might make a sausage filter housing and just buy the cotton filtery bit. Will end up being like a k&n sandwich sort of thing i suppose.
Unless you can just get filter stuff in sheets?
Thanks

you can buy Pipercross 3 ply filter media in various sized sheets, as i wanted to keep my air filter inside the bonet i made a air box and had the
filter sheet on the top. i will post up some pictures tonight.

Haven't purchased mine yet, but spoke with them and the backplate can be pre-cut for bike carbs.

Nice tidy job. Is the filter inside or are you having a cone style one somewhere else?

zx6r carbs
Hi, just had the same problem and I managed to fit a pipercross one piece filter. I used the thinnest one 40mm. It just touches top of bonnet
onleading edge. Works just fine and only £68 inc backplate blank from MNR.
