It so happens that I'll be putting a rebuilt set of 1 1/4 and matching K&N filters on Ebay tommorow.

I've been using Ramflows with Castrol filter oil. The oil seems to have stopped the problem of the fuel slowly disolving the filter. Why did I choose to go this way ?? Because I can't afford K & N's

Ive used a Finer Filter foam in a Ramflo for years, with F/F oil. It's still OK... when I run out of oil I'll use UniFilter stuff.
Lynx do say you can use oil on their filters, and foam filters work a lot better with it. You should see the crap that comes out of mine every 5000 miles.. :lol:
I can't fit a K&N to the Dellorto anyhow- no room! :wink:

It can't be too hard to fit a 1.25" K&N Pancake filter like sg did though can it? I want one..and they're only $80 complete..

Could I put some more angle on the 3005 kev like yours and have it fit? or no..

Or for something that would really stand out you could get a pair of SU chrome air fiters from burlen fuel systems in the UK. They are a bit pricey tho, at around $73 aus each without shipping, but man I would love a set of these! I'd even think of trading my cooper s twin air filter box for a pair...

Burlen Fuel are featured in the feb or March issue of Mini Magazine, and they have a full page piccy of them on twin 1 1/4's. Damn nice 8) 8)

It is the issue with the pink nitrous 1380 shortie convertable on the front. Sorry I don't have a scanner or digital camera.

Yes Josh, it will cost U the usual, a slab of Hahn Premium...
For that I might even port it a bit more while it's off! 8)
