Can anyone tell me what is the best cone filter for stock carb. I know we talked about this at one time on this site. I just can't find it.

jabman, don't you need to get that head breather filter up right above the head so the oil doesn't pool in it?

i have covered about 500 miles with this crankcase breather filter and i cannot find any oil at all in there  i did have to top up on engine oil though about a week ago, so its going somewhere. its an oiled cotton k&n filter so any oil i guess will just get absorbed into the cotton, it doesn't look saturated at all

Lancer whats the part number for yours. Its not the typical cone filter, but it looks like it fits in that space well.

Oh, do you have more picture of how your battery is mounted. I am trying to get ideas of how I want to do mine. I like how yours has easy access to the terminals. I also thought about turning mine and fitting it between the frame rails.

This filter only fit because the air box was removed and the battery box removed as well.  The battery was just sitting on the very bottom portion of what had been the stock mounting setup.

I am not sure of the specific part # but go to this link and you can look for whatever one you like.
The stock carb has a 57mm OD on the filter mount side.
A VM carb is 63mm OD. (you can use either 62mm or 64mm flange)
