Air Filter Replacement

Post by thunderbolt »

I need to replace my air filter as the unit is quite filthy and I've read that it cannot be cleaned and so need to buy another one. I don't have any performance mods on my bike except for an Arrow exhaust. So I would not want anything that requires me to rejet.

What are the options for a replacement? Is the Honda part the best available?

Thanks
Cheers
Don

Yep.

Or a pattern part like a Hi-Flo filter, just a name not improved performance.

Is the Hiflo filter OK to use? As good as OEM with no difference in performance.

Thanks

Hiflo is ok, another option is Meiwa which is probably oem, not sure of availability in UK.

Thanks Guys,

I had assumed the OEM filter would be expensive. But rang my local family run Honda dealer (his shop looks like it is out of the '60s) and he has one in stock and it's only $65 (£30 UK). So that will be my choice. Thanks for all the input.
Cheers
