Suggestions for online cheap replacement air filters

#1 Unread post by flw »

Where do you find the cheapest replacement filters online?

I can find it at JC Whitney but was wondering if you all have cheaper alternative sources. Mine came with paper so I either use another paper one or upgrade to foam/oil type.

I would suggest a foam filter. They can be cleaned, re-oiled, and reused. A little more expensive at first (2-3 times the cost average) but will save money in the long run. K&N, Accell, UNI, CCI and others make these type of elements. UNI also makes bulk foam. (this can be used to make a reuseable filter If one for your bike is not made.) Most of these elements will replace stock type without any adjustments, however if you need to make your own it may need some carb adjustment. AND use a "foam filter oil" (I like K&N 'red' oil) not WD-40. (it is a lot stickier than WD-40 and removes more crap in the air)
