7/12 filters

Hi again, what individual air filters do I need for a 750 frame with a 1200 mk1 bandit motor in, as I believe 750 ones would hit the frame

cheers jon

What carbs are using?

If you are running cv's,then don't used individual filters(they are okay for flatties),you will never get it right.Also don't use k&n dual filters,they scrunch up on the slabby/slingshot frames and are not really suited to the bst cv's(some say they are okay,but i've never got good results from them),plus they are quite expensive.

The ramair filter socks and silicone bellmouth/reducers(or airbox rubbers) are much more suited to the bst cv's and fit in the space better.Plus they cost £25(k&n are about £90)

And this is others who have used them.

This is a set I made earlier.1100 with bst38ss

Another set of dual filters which are also designed for the slabby/slingshot frames,is the ones from piperX.They are also a really good filter to use ,but cost around the same as the k&n duals when new

Cool. Thanks for that del. I've seen those piper cross ones but not the ram air one.

ive seen some filter that are stepped down (can't remember the name though) would the be ok they are singles though.

Forgot to say the motor is in a slingshot frame if that makes any difference with fitment.

cheers

In the slingshot frame you can use all aftermarket filters, enough room. 

If you got the carbs with an oval inlet, please don't go for K&N. Real headache to get them a proper fitment. Try the Ram air instead.

If you run carbs with a round inlet like 38 or 40cv, I would recommend the Pipercross dual filters. No need to glue or anything. Perfect fitment and good performance.

Those are bst38's on my brothers 11g with the ramair fillter socks
I only glued the first set that I fitted to the bst34ss',this was because the b6 airbox rubbers where abit lose in them,but they would have worked without glue.
That glue you can see in the pic,is what was left over from my first trial fit. I didn't use any glue on the next set that were fitted to the bst38ss'.The ramair's worked excellent on the 38's and we got good results when setup on the road and track dyno(then the engine went pop,but that was nothing to do with the fueling,just old an age 1052,valve stem oil seals knackered and low compression.Originally had a Mr Turbo setup fitted to it).

Stay away from single filters on cv's,they won't work properly.

What carbs are you using?
