K&N Stockists - any recommendations?

Where's a good place to get hold of a K&N air filter set, particularly
SU-1487 if it makes any difference?

I was hoping to find someone with these in stock, but the ones Google's
thrown up are all quoting 3-5 days. If that's what it is then fine, but
I'd love to get hold of someone with these gathering dust on a shelf!

LOL! Yup, I'm slapping these in as a first move! Seems the original
stock style filters were put back in so I'm *hoping* this at least
makes a big difference!!

 

Beav yik-yakked:

Plugs when I took them out were very black and sooty - doesn't that
indicate they're running very rich?

 

yes

have you tried the dealerships?

You could also go down the route of taking out the air box and using
filters that clamp onto the carb mouths.

Yes, with no joy. All looking at special order of qyuoted times of 8
days ( best ) to 6 weeks if K&N UK don't have them.

Far too high tech for me!! 8^)

 

Martin yik-yakked:

In fact, I've also contacted K&N UK direct to see if they could point
me in the right direction for some stock!

 

Beav yik-yakked:

DING. I've had a few blasts on the 6R but don't enjoy it as much.

gas >analyser would prove it.

Hooray. I'll let you know the outcome once I wrestle the new filters
in!!

 

Beav yik-yakked:

Stock airbox set up. Points noted, and will be, erm, discussed.

Ho yuss.
