Kinda hard to mount because if you dont take out the airbox (the top hits it, except in the divit in the middle) it will tilt the carb forward a little. so take out ur battery and box. mount the air filter 1st and then replace barrty and box. good lucks

Please excuse my error...the stock carb is in fact 57mm, as stated by others already. (4-28)

The measurement on the carb's filter side, whether stock or Amal/Mikuni, is 62mm. But, with this particular filter the 60mm version is the one used. I have not been able to get a 62mm version. The 60mm will fit the carbs but it is a snug fit.

Now I only have to paint the tube in black because I don't like the colour of the PVC Greetings from Spain

Couldn't we fit a HD style filter housing to avoid the rain issue? Has anyone done anything similar?

Even so, I'm sure my filter has gotten wet, but I wouldn't say soaked. Haven't ahd any problems yet. Besides, oil and water don't mix, so if it's a KN type where you oil the filter... you better believe the fitler turns black in about 2 weeks...
