    k&n filters fittment

    in 24/7 V11

    Posted

    Here's what I did-

    I removed the entire air box, being careful not to damage the temp sensor. Then I took the intake runners (velocity stacks, the hard plastic tubes) and cut off the large lip at the end, so the tubes would then fit into the individual pod filters. In retrospect, it was a bit rash to cut them. Get some spares, or pieces of plastic tubing the same diameter and keep the original intake runners. Put the filters on the intake runners, and put the intake runners into the throttle bodies.

    You may need to remove the side panels, depending on the size of the filters you use. This is a good idea anyhow, as several people have reported them cracking.

    I used a ziptie to affix the temp sensor to the main spine frame (on the side of the spine). You do need to keep the sensor, but just make sure it is high enough that it doesn't read too hot from the engine.

    That's it. Easy as pie.

    I've probably forgotten something, since I did this 5 or 7 years ago, but it really was about that easy.

    Say, can you still get the aluminum intakes from sportcycle pacific? They looked great and you could keep your original intake runners.

    thanks for all your help

    I had the K&N filters on mine for years and they were just fine. Then I recently aquired a pair of billet velocity stacks on ebay with the foam type filters. They also work just fine. The nice thing about them for me is you lose 5 pounds or so and you have much more and easier access to service the bike. Wether it makes the bike any faster is almost irrelevant to me.

    Oh did I mention they make the bike LOOK faster and way cooler! B)

    wear does the air sencer go ???
