Can you order a rian guard for it??

yup ordered one for it as well. this filter has a 1/2" taper to it front and back but i found a dry charger made for a 4" round straight filter. i dont think i will even notice the 1/2 of slop at the nose. like $60 for cover and filter.

looks good. Can the angle be changed? wondering if you can angle it downward a little in the front to match the angle of the front rocker cover. I have seen a few like that and like the look. Either way looks good though.

not this one. however k&n does have a few filters with a angled flange that would fit the bill your looking for. this filter also has the same size flange as the stock carb so you could pop it on the stock carb and leave the jugs wide open too.

Re:new air filter. 4 Years, 1 Month ago  
not sure but have the same style filter from spectra except where yours is black on the end of the pleats spectra is chrome, my biggest complaint of this type of filter is that the center inverted cone plugs real fast from bugs,and when it does there seems to be an air intake issue because when i clean it you notice the difference

Hey I don't know if anyone has seen this one but I ran across it on the Bay yesterday. Another alternative to the pointy Maddona cone job but with more air flow potential.

mine isnt inverted just flat with a filter on the end.

i bet with the inverted cone its acting as a ram air effect and that will lean out the mix this is something i would need to be carefull of as well but with a hard lower right in front blocking air pressure i think im good.

i got your letter btw. thanks
