#84609 BlkCherryBomb (User) If I do it today, then what is tomorrow for? Junior Boarder Posts: 166 Mr. Cancilla's air filter question 3 Months, 1 Week ago   So yesterday I put that K&N filter on that seems to be getting very popular. I must say I think it looks a lot better than the stock box. However, when I installed it, I was able to get the hose clamp tight enough to where the filter doesn't come off. I took it for a short ride, wiggled and tapped on it and it seems secure. I know people are making brackets for it that attach at the original points. I wonder if I still need to, or if it will hold...........Opinions???   Logged     One ride is never enough.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #84619 RIPBiker13 (User) You couldn't handle the ride of the Reaper... Expert Boarder Posts: 545 Re:Mr. Cancilla's air filter question 3 Months, 1 Week ago   I used a tiny version of what they have and I didn't use a bracket, but mine is so small I don't think it would matter. Your's on the other hand is a little bigger, and would you really want to risk it falling off on the highway? It's easy to make, so I would run the bracket.   Logged     His name is Mr. Grim and I am the Grim Rider.

Then I grabbbed the carb and wiggled it up and down and realized with a rubber manifold that thing will come flying off of there without that brace. I also noticed the customs running a flat side with a velocity stack all had braces. there is something to it. I ran mine 250 miles saturday a lot of it at 70mph plus and the set up worked perfect.   Logged     Every walk of life falls under the sway of the Testicular Imperative: either you have the world by them, or it has you.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #84898 Blackroadie (User) If it ain't broke, You ain't ridin' hard enuf ! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1609 Re:Mr. Cancilla's air filter question 3 Months, 1 Week ago   If you look at Mr. C's write up...you can see where he trimmed a little rubber off the piece the clamp goes around....to keep it from slipping off the carb as you tighten it. I had to do it,...much better.   Logged     04 Midnite Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access.
