Xs K&n Filter Part Number?

[VND 1]

Hello all, tried the Search function but all my keywords are too short apparently.

 

Does anyone know the part number of the little pancake shaped K&N airfilter that fits the XS solex?

 

Seen here:

 

 

 

 

Or failing that, info on any other aftermarket filter that will fit the carb?

 

Thanks all.

Hi matey, I saved myself the £70 they wanted for a pipercross filter by making an aluminium cross piece over the top of the carb, that slots into the rubber sleeve that seals the std air filter onto the carb, I then cut down & fitted a Pipercross trumpet sock over that.

 

I think you can still buy them individually on ebay - think I paid around £16 delivered for mine.

If you have the original box id reccomend this . Its a K&N filter that sits in the original box, i have a similar one in mine (uk rallye, same engine/carb)..

 

 

Good thing about this is you wouldn't have to insure it as a mod, as all you've done is changed the filter rather than pulled out your entire air intake system, plus if your a purist this is an extra thumbs up!

I don't really see the point of putting that filter on there , it will be getting all the hot air from the engine, rather have a hose getting fresh air from somewhere else, buying the replacemente k&n filter and fit it in the box.

You still get the benefits from a more "open" air filter and you get more fresh air to it, instead of having just a more "open" air filter and getting lots of hot air into it

Thanks lads.

 

This is the way I bought the car, but I think I WILL rebuild the airbox system. Or at least rig up a cold air intake near the grille.

 

Thanks everyone that replied.
