Does anyone know where I can get a k&n air filter for my blast for under $67? Every where around here that is how much they are. They are even that much on the k&n website. | ||

K&N website will only list suggested retail - they can't undercut their dealers or distributors. Check the board sponsors here. | ||

67 wow. I went with the pro-series for my blast. New air box and K&N filter for 90 bucks.  http://www.buell.com/en_us/gear/accessories/Produc t.asp?Menu_ID=2&ProductLineID=4&CategoryID=1&Produ ctID=1974 | ||

I heard from a tech that the first revision of "race" air filter kits were bad news. They didn't support the outside of the carb and they had a tendency to kinda fall off. Was this ever true? What supports the carb and airfilter? | ||

true, you lose rigidity with the pro-series. The hose from the carb to the head fell off after 1000 miles. I just re-monted it and kept on riding. For me I just loved to way it looked. I had to clean out the stock airbox every few hundred miles from oil biuld-up, with the pro-series I never had to do that. | ||

How to support the Blast carb with the Pro Series air filter has been documented over in the Thumper Forum! | ||

Yes it has! However, it is my long term opinion that the only way to brace the weight of the pro-series intake is with heavy duty hydrolic hose or the 4 ply race re-enforced fuel filler hose - 1 3/4 ID by 1 1/2 L and solid bracket mounting from the motor - supporting the carb in place - might as well add aircraft quality band clamps as well for the boot - longest boot life I had from a stocker with the Pro-series was a little over 3000 miles - I finally bowed to the inevitable and went to the torque stack and stack filter and racing spring supports as I had on the Black bike. I had tried a number of brackets and springs with no luck - the puppie was too heavy and the cover would rub the hoses in time as the boot tore -lol - others have had much better luck, yet still the majority don't - my radical airbox mod is a good alternative to the Pro-series - you can hear the chuff! Still watch out for the airbox cover chaifing stuff as well - real long term. GT - JBOTDS! EZ  (Message edited by ezblast on December 19, 2006) |
