Jim,

With velocity stacks not much room for a filter unless you are running
the 
really short stacks, or no inner fenders.

I'm using 1/4" wire screen
wrapped around the lip of the horn to secure.  Topped 
with air conditioner
foam filter material (ace hardware) secured with aluminum 
tape.  I'm sure it
only keeps out the big particles, but better than open 
stacks.

attached.

I run the shop vac over the foam between race weekends.  Has worked
fine for a 
couple years.

Tim

  Any
recommendations on air filters for a 1300 Spit with dual SU's?

I've been
running K&N's, but the backing plates have cracked severely after 
about 5
seasons of racing.  I've been looking at the Longflo units sold by VB.

Thanks
in advance - Jim Norlin
