No room for air filters 24 Jan 2007 18:46 #107997

greatbeefalo Topic Author Offline User Posts: 41 Thank you received: 0	Ive got a 650 frame with a 750 motor; the engine is so large that is wont allow room for the air filters on the back. Is there a slimmer air filter I can buy somewhere or will I have to fabricate my own?

duncan Offline User Posts: 194 Thank you received: 2	i saw a pic in the last few days where a square piece of gauze/unifilter foam was just stretched over each of the carb openings and held in place by a spring clamp. i probably saw it on here, but i can't find it right now.

Seems like it might be "thinner" than the usual pod lengths. kzrider.com/component/option,com_joomlab...w/catid,3/id,107166/ 1973 Z1 KZ900 LTD

steell Offline User Posts: 6850 Thank you received: 207	A stock GPz750 air filter will fit. That's what we used on my nephews GPz750 motor in a 79 KZ650SR project. I'm reasonably sure a stock KZ750 four air cleaner would work as well. KD9JUR
