Bike carb filters
Hello,
What air filters are people using on their bike carbs?
Was thinking of either a sausage filter or just socks
Cheers
Paul

Don't use the sock filters! They are shocking for flow, whilst a suitable sausage filter will be much better.
The other option is 4 single filters, ie 4 mini K&N's or similar.

Boggs recommend the pipercross style sausage filters, i think mainly as you dont get too many fitting problems with space etc.
They also recommend Vision plus (01925 226248) as a good air filter supplier. They have a website if you do a search. From what ive seen their prices
are good.
Ive got the std Kawasaki trumpet plate fitted underneath a huge 100mm K&N challenger air box.

Cheers guys
I think i may try the K & N style one as they look pretty cool  and looks like i could fit them without having to cut a hole in my bonnet

Don't forget you need cold air to the filters

I do have an intake on top of the bonnet which fed the 32/36 webber so this should provide cold air without having to cut new holes

I'm tempted with the 4 little ones, as I think they look quite tidy. Cold air won't be a problem with mine, as they stick out in the wind!
Rain could be an issue though.....
