Last week I got my HMF full system and yesterday got it al on and jetted....all was well until I got to the air filter.
I bought the HMF foam filter that is supposed to use the stock cage and I cannot for the life of me get this thing streched over it?
I did put HMF on w/o cage and go for a ride and what a HUGE difference!
I am just about to give up on this filter and trash it along with stock. My question(s) are;
Is there are trick to getting this damn thing over the cage (2nd ring)?
Is the HMF air filter even worth it?
If not am I better with Uni, Twin or K&N (I was advised to avoid K&N in the desrt due to the dust and silt where I ride)?
FYI - I also drilled six 1" holes in the airbox lid and am going to use those little uni plugs in them.
Hell, the simplest things are alsways the biggest PIA!
