I am looking to buy some performance air filters for my scooters. I purchased some K&N's that fit the carburetor, but they hit that stupid bar on the frame... So, does anyone have a recommendation for a good filter (prefer K&N) that I'm able to use? Part number will be great, link will be better.... Thanks.

Here is a setup that is simple, great airflow, and no interference problems: i58.tinypic.com/120l1fp.jpgThis is with an oversized (30mm) carb, but that isn't relevant. The filter is just a normal Uni filter. the gray duct is a piece of exhaust pipe bent by my local muffler shop for $5 or $10 (including the pipe). It's attached at the carb end with a piece of radiator hose of the right diameter. On the uni end the muffler guy swedged it to the proper diameter so the Uni rubber piece fits perfectly. Also made up a little metal support that is welded to the duct and attaches to one of the starter motor bolts - keeps everything nice and sway-free. |

What I did on one, is cut the tube off the stock air box and then use it to couple the uni and the carb. Yeah that bar on 150's is a real pain.
Don't for get to re-jet that carb!

Thanks for the feedback gang, ...So I should make a duct?.... I got the same response on the doc's site.... Anyone have a link to a dealer that sells the duct pre-made or is it something I should fabricate. Cost is it not an issue, but a "professional look" is.

I just use a section of radiator hose to exrend .. easy and pliable.. I have been known to get hoses from the local junk yard to find the best angle...

I honestly do not like those filters. Most uni filters would have more air flow . |
