Cone Filters
Hey guys I I want to put cone filters on my carbs and get rid of the the air box. Can anyone tell me what size of filters I need to be looking for. Everything I see is 50mm or 48mm so I really dont know what to look for. My carbs are what came on the bike. Thanks guys

Re: Cone Filters
Your local bike shop should be able to tell you over the phone about the size. I also tried cone filters, but after several years they were old and had to be replaced. When I found out how much new ones cost I bought a used filter box on Ebay and used it from then on. Those things cost a FORTUNE!

Re: Cone Filters
If by "Cone filters" you mean "Pod filters" they are 54mm.
"Bobing" a bike means lots of things to lots of people. Yes it is posible to bob yer' bike, and retain the stock airbox. If you like how it looks, that's all that counts.
