As my bike has been off the road for a while I need to replace the air filters as the last ones disintegrated. My problem is that I can't find anyone who makes the filters anymore and am wondering if any of you eagle eye'd FZers or guests have seen any available. My old filters were a Ram Air design and fitted around a bank of two bellmouths each. I am presently running Exup carbs and 3 inch bellmouths. Thanks.

I'm more concerned about the lack of a reservoir for the clutch...

I can see it. It's a rubber tube with a bolt in the end. ;D Alan I've got 4 cone type filters kicking about somewhere. They were fitted to FZ carbs. Would they fit your EXUP carbs ?

Crusty, because the clutch slave doesn't expand very much (unlike the brake calipers that expand due to the brake pads wearing down), it isn't much of a problem treating the clutch as a sealed unit and not using a oil reservoir as I have. Graham, thanks for the offer of the cone filters but the Exup carbs are totally different in size to the FZ carbs, I had to have the original inlet stubbs modified just to accept the EXUP carbs so I'm stiil going to have to keep searching for the original style filters. Thanks anyway.
