air filters....

[R1madness]

You can get the filters from cycletreads in christchurch. 0800 2 tyres is their number.
If you do what you are thinking you will get a massive slump (lets not call it a hole because the jet kit will clean it up ) in the midrange but will definitly gain HP up top. What sort of pipe are you going to use.? Harris pipes made one for a mates BROS years ago. It was a bit throaty (he can fix that) but sounded sweet. You can get lots of hot up bits from 2 BROS racing (USA) but they are expencive as hell.
The popular fix for the suspension was to replace the whole front end with a CBR400RR front end. Forks wheel brakes handle bars tripple clamps etc. It was an easy fit.
Good luck man. It looks good so far.

i have a straight through reverse megaphone thingy.....

and the front end can also be swapped for a cbr600 f2 or f3

Yea but they are a bit hard sprung for the BROS and the brakes are better on the 400RR.
Reverse cone magaphone. yum yum thats exactly what harris built for my mate.

my reverse cone megaphone is stainless and its quite short......

i'll have a look into the cbr400rr front end, are they 41mm forks?

[R1madness]

something like that. I cant remember.

Personnally I'd stick with the standard air box. Are the standard Bros air filters paper elements?If they you can cut the old element out, get air filtration foam from para rubber(they have two grades available) and fit to filter frame. Soak with 30-50 weightish engine oil, squeeze any access out the fit to bike. I've done this on two of mine so far with no adverse effects.

Sounds like your wee project is coming along great

i think the bros already has a foam filter but it does have the standard air box, i think it has been re-jetted as it ran better when the moriwaki exhaust had no packing in it [it sounded better too]
