Some. But, if youll go hunting for Old Fellers design, you can have a higher airflow over stock & ( I think) a better filtration than K&N. If I hadnt dropped the $$$ on a K&N before he did that, I woulda gone with his design.

If you do the K&N, keep your old paper filter. If you want to ride while the K&N is drying, you can slap the paper back in for a day. Or, Mod the paper to Old Fellers idea & swap with the K&N.

Never use compressed air on the K&N, it will ruin the warranty.

No, not really,... air boxes have a purpose... but if you like the look of a cone, use a cone...

I gutted a stock filter and added a section of two inch nu-foam per Oldfeller's design. with no other changes. The diference was remarkable. I was forced to change the idle mix screw to get the run away backfire under control. I have since added Diamond Jim's long shot and rejetted. the bike now rides like the 650's of the 1960's.
Old Feller was right on the money! and the cost to replace the filter is going to be about $1.75. Folks, it don't get better than that! Thanks OldFeller!
