Hi Cosmo,
I was planning on just purchasing a set of K&N filters but recently somebody
on the list had said that the K&N filters don't work that well in keeping dust
out of the engine. It is hard to say what the problem really is since K&N
filters require some user maintenance. I wonder if the problem is that the
filters weren't serviced correctly and failed or what? They seem very
popular.
Thanks,
Dave Connitt

Hi Everybody,
I remember a thread a few days (weeks?) back about the efficiency of
various
air filters with K&N not getting an especially good mark. What is the
consensus about air filters? I have TR4A IRS with SU's. Months away
from
needing air filters but just thought I would ask.
Thanks,
Dave Connitt

Hi Dave!
I've thought of getting the K&N filters, but decided against that for
now. I use the Standard TRIUMPH oval air filters. I then obtained a air filter
material from a friend who gave him the material (so i don't know where you
can purchase it or even the proper name of the stuff). I then cut it in strips
to wrap around the air filter paper. Now when it ges dirty, I just remove
them, wash them in soap & water to dry, & install.Because my Garage Queen is
dark blue & the material is a light blue, it looks good. I figure if this
helps keep the paper on the air filter a little cleaner, then it means that I
wouldn't have to replace them as offter. Therefore it will be saving me money
& be cheaper than purchasing K&N air filters.
