How about airtube covers instead. V similar effect, cheaper, no hassle with air filters. Several places supply them @£120.

if you want to know a bit more about the undertank filters go and talk to John Hacket .

Thanks for the response so far,

I was under the impression that the standard filters in the air tubes were the best option. I have read several threads on this including Shazams.

When I had my 853 conversion done by sigma. I was informed that the better option would be the standard type filters in the air tubes.

I have already removed the mesh from the front intake holes in the fairing. And I have smeared vasoline ( Ohh eeerrrr! ) on the rubber seal on the air box so that it sort of sticks to the underside of the petrol tank. This seems to work ok.

I seem to get quite an induction roar when I am giving it the berries. But then that may be something to do with the 853 conversion?

I was only after a bit of bling in carbon, you know what I mean. For the bike that is but If its gonna mean changing air filters and all that jazz then I may leave well alone. The thing is I had an under take air filter from ITG but have since ditched it.

Why dont you want the undertank filter ??

Just being curious ....

I run carbon tubes with a JHP filter and she runs superbly .....

I think unless you are a trackday god the difference is negligible ....

I have a spare 2nd hand filter that you can have to try if you like ..... take the standard filters out of your current tubes, run the undertank one and see how it goes, if it is detrimental then you know not to .... all found out first hand by you for free ....

u2u me if you want it ...

Cheers DIBBLE. I will have a think.

when you say head light support do you mean the bracket or the part that the head lights sit in ?
if its the latter then i have one but only got it because if like bling, no real benefit apart from it being a bit lighter and it looks good,
i also have the DP air tubes fitted and i like them, yes you can see through them if you hold them up to the light but they do the job and if you want to run original filters there aren't any other options, you have seen my bike so you know they look good
