Any concerns with an open paper element riding in the rain?

It stays high and dry under all the plastic and the top of the frame.

During normal throttle there is a mellow sound. When you jump on the throttle you get a deep throaty sound until you get up to a steady speed then the sound returns to normal.

The biggest improvement you will see is you are no longer sitting on a Barbeque Grill.

So what you are saying is that my chestnuts won't be roasted on every ride??

You do have to make some concessions when you get a cooler ride...

Not quite yet... I just got the bill from the anodizer and could compute my final costs. But we are real close. I'm excited!

Ok, here is a sneak peek at the filters...

The price is $195 including Priority USPS shipping.

I guess the cat is out of the bag now and you can order the AF-1 anytime. Most of the folks on the list have purchased theirs so it is ok to say...

THE AIR FILTERS ARE IN STOCK!

I'll start shipping Wednesday.

Thanks for your patience on this project.

Thanks

Just an update, thanks to the persistence of JRWW I've shipped my first order to Australia. It was quite a challenge to design an over pack box for the air filter and stay under 4 lbs.

Guess what showed up in the mail today.

Ok, it's not really installed as I need to run to get some RTV and Loctite, but it is "in"

[3 Wheel Addict]

Yup got mine today as well, nice piece but don't really care for the blue color but I can live with it.

[SNOOPY]

Mine came in today too.

Hopefully the cool blue color will make the other engine components feel cooler. :brrr:

LOL


Mine may be a little while before install. Trying to figure out if adding the cat delete and the filter will require a tuner box?

[jwulf74]

Just got mine all installed (well, it's on her ). Probably test it out tomorrow.

Looking good, I hope to get mine installed today if I can catch up with making parts.

Does it help at all getting all the factory intake pieces out by removing the frunk, or can every thing be taken out w it in place?

Removing the Frunk makes the job a whole lot easier. It allows you to remove the two front bolts on the right and left hand lateral supports, then remove the the bolt on the corner of the gas tank and the two bolt above the driver foot peg. By having the lateral supports loose it allows the air box and resonator to be removed easier. lest side you have to disconnect the three large connectors for the resonator removal.

Thank you


I take it this is all similar on an STS.

[msj4848]

Will this fit on an rs?

[Doc - Riverside]

Yes. WackyDan did a test fit to make sure.

[SNOOPY]

Funny thing is that my box is marked to fit RT's, RS's and GS's...not a mention of ST's....and I don't even know what a GS is?

Well I tore down the bike today and got mine installed. It's not gonna work out for me so I tore it back down and removed it and put the stock air box back on. I don't care for the extra engine noise that the bike has with the factory box gone other than that it was a simple install and everything fit nice and WOW do you have a lot of room in there with the air box gone! I'm going to list mine in the for sale area and put the money back for his cat bypass when he gets that done.

So you were able to remove the factory parts and reinstall / no problem?
