You're welcome! You'll pass it on too. What about the stock airbox with stack? (which the one 'we'use is what it was originally designed for, but not the Blast). | ||
| Ezblast |
Never tried it - would it fit - if so it would probably work the same as it did for the M2s - you could ditch the filter and put a regular stack filter on the Venturi - should be enough air in the box to prevent choking from restriction - Scott still runs his airbox that way - modified box W/ stack filter on the venturi and he's had no problems and he's jetted 48/180 - of course he is running the Poor man's Force - Jardine/WB header with the D&D can - lol - he really likes his setup.

Whatever Blasst says it isn't true! I just hope his front wheel didn't fall off before he got home...... | ||

And now, for a quick thread hijack.... Hey Swampy, Thanks for dropping by the Bro's place on Father's Day. Good to meet you and the Big Kid and The Young Lady. Next time I'm in town, we'll plan a ride.\ We now return you to the regular thread. | ||

Besides the ones we're already running? UNI makes a ton of filters in many different sizes and styles. Many cheap to some expensive. | ||
| Imadreadhead |
what uni filter are you running? also..any tricks on how to get the bolts that hold the airbox on out of the carb? they DO NOT want to come out | ||
| Ezblast |
SIGH.... | ||
| Imadreadhead |
YAWN... | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
A U-603 sock filter and UP-4245 pod filter, both are used with the ProSeries intake elbow. I'm betting Uni makes one that would slip directly onto 'The Stack' as well as K & N (I've seen the K & N). Just takes research going to their websites and downloading the catalogues and reviewing the specs. I havent had any trouble unbolting the stock airboxes and I havent had one mounted in quite some time to go out and check. Sorry. I personally think a Uni Filter with an Outerwears pre-filter would flow well and be easier to maintain. I'm not impressed with the K & N's flow and difficulty in cleaning (K&N website, from what I remember, wouldnt give any info on cleaning a K&N except to buy their cleaning products). | ||

Oh, should I stop writing... | ||

For the screw - first try some penetrating oil, for the effectiveness of a Uni-filter see whatS wrote there - http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/20164/370877.html?1214083266 directly quoting from their tech - lol - that is why the sigh - the Yawn on the other hand....

PB Blaster! It has the word Blast in it, so it must be good! I have some, and it's soaked its way into many parts of my Blast as well as lots of other things around my house. If that doesn't work, try C4. | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Sigh! x2 | ||

If you want less restrictive than stock, yet don't want to go the stack route - Laura's RamFlo is pretty trick and doesn't look like it would be in the way either. n She braced hers the same as I - with springs.   EZ | ||
| Gearheaderiko |
Thatsa nice! www.lynxcorp.com I'm pretty sure its also a 'sponge' filter, so it filters as good as a UNI! (Message edited by gearheaderiko on June 23, 2008) | ||

By the way this  is not thumbs up. LOL! I've taken the liberty of editing a few posts to make them more 'friendly'! | ||
| Ezblast |
Yes, however,it will be way thinner, and it will look a world better than a Uni wraped in a sock - lol - and it is a classic look as well. EZ http://www.ramflo.5u.com/ (Message edited by ezblast on June 23, 2008) | ||

Who said I compared it to wrapping a UNI in a 'sock'? The UNI probably filters better, period. And a stack with a hair net looks good? SIGH... | ||
| Ezblast |
Hell Yeah! especially if it was just taken from a beautiful woman - sigh - mine are not - so perhaps they lack there, yet a stack is always nice! | ||

Sorry to drop this on the main forum, but I have a pressing problem and I need immediate help. The picture is not very clear, but I noticed a bubbling oil leak on my engine where the black, heat-vented top part meets the foundation silver part on the left side (shifter side). I apologize to the mechanics for "sounding like a woman" (that is what my said, reading over my shoulder . . . I admit, wrenches are not my strong point, but I am learning). The oil is not spurting, rather there is an omnipresent collection of oil at the juncture, wherein there is some bubbling (appears to be air). The bubbling is related to the amount of RPMs. I would say that the collection of oil equals a 1/2 tablespoon in addition to that which has dripped down the side of the silver casing (transmission?). Given the aforementioned, in your combined experiences, is this safe to ride to the dealer or should I have towed to HD/Buell of Bergen County to have fixed. Engine wrenching is out of my league . . . Again, most importantly, is this a "DON'T DRIVE" oil leak, or a "You can drive this safely for the thirty minute ride so long as you don't exceed 50 mph and lug the engine, etc." I have had a bike seize on me before and luckily did not break any bones when the bike tire locked up and the clutch cable broke. So, back to the percolating oil at the bottom of the head (if that is correct term), what should I do guys and gals? As a corollary issues, thoughts for the cause and what should I expect at the HD/Buell dealership as to diagnosis, prognosis. and ultimate cost to repair? This way, I will know whether I will need vaseline or KY before I talk to the guys in the service department . . . Thanks (I am a little freaked as I had to ride about 30 miles home after first noticing and was worried about oil spurting on my leg, etc.) PLEASE HELP ASAP!! Y'all the best!  | ||

From the Outerwears website to avoid any confusion for readers on the subject: Can I use an Outerwears Pre-filter without a standard filter? An Outerwears Pre-Filter is certainly made of high quality materials and will prevent larger particles of dirt from entering into the engine. However, Outerwears manufactures Pre-Filters that should not be confused with a primary filter. You must continue to use a primary filter and add an Outerwears Pre-Filter to enhance your primary filters performance. * Outerwears manufacturers Pre-Filters not to be confused with primary air filters * Outerwears Pre-Filters must be used in combination with a primary filter | ||

Ride it how you want, its not going to make a difference. Base gasket is leaking so they'll pull the top end. They can just replace gaskets without doing anything else. Now is the time to make any engine mods, if you desire. They shouldnt charge any more labor if you exchange the stock parts for high performance parts. There are some exceptions to that though.

I would recommend at least getting new rings and a hone or new piston, rings and bore if its that worn. | ||
| Ezblast |
Guides also - I defer the fact that it is not an actual filter, no filter protection happens in an impacted scenario, however, the qualities it does have, and the ability to run a stack for max flow satisfies my sensibilities for my priorities. EZ | ||
| Swampy |
Josuanders, The last time I put the Big Kids Blast top end together(what you are talking about) the gaskets were less than $40. Labor will be 2-3 hours at the shop rate(probably $210) | ||

Would this be a warranty repair? |
