Serrano's carries these things too, but they are very restrictive. Try aircooled.net , they have some nice clamp-on foam filters for IDA's. Or you can check out ACE (Art Thraen) this guy makes a beautifull stack/filter combination. Hope this helpes.

Jim,
You drive everywhere with open stacks? Brave man for sure. The silica in one half of a teaspoon of Northern California dust will
make your top rings run away from home. Would be nice to see a well constructed air box with an adequate filter to let the engine
go to redline without choking.

I thought my engine blew when it happened! Needless to say, I'm not running them now. They are cool to look at though. |

Wow. I thought that these filters were better quality than the others...  There is a latticework inside however. |

I tried those on my last motor, for like an hour... They won't let the motor breathe, AT ALL.... In a type 1 there is just no room for good (large) enough filters.... IMO

I ran the uni filters in my car a little bit. They work OK, but do choke the motor down a little bit. John Plow ran them from Conneticut to my house in Detroit with no problems.

I did initially with DRLAs but am not currently with IDAs. I'm not overly comfortable with running open but since we have a damp climate and we don't generally have too much airborne dust to worry about so it's not as big a issue as it could be. That said I do check for signs of rodents after evey trip.

I'm thinking of having 4 nylon rings machined which are clamped on the velocity stacks with 4 motorcycle K&N's.

I remember Mark Herbert saying something to the effect of, "Air filters are for people who want to make their IDA's look stupid." I agree |

Yes. I can´t tell any difference if I run them on the carbs or nothing. Easy to fit. Recommended.

I bought a set of those filters from Dave Greiner in April and I've been very pleased with them. I know a couple other guys who have them and are happy as well.

I have them but still like the looks of open stacks...just depends on whether or not your an "air filter" guy. If I was commuting in my car every day, MAYBE I'd think about using them, but for Saturday Sunday cruising, I'm out. Also, for you guys who have notched the #2 cylinder velocity stack for deck lid clearance, you may have interference problems with the screen contacting the deck lid. |
