Any thoughts on this new filter? Takegawa Hyper Motard air filter

Or just go with the good old cone type?

That looks good for rain

96Justin · 06-11-2009, 11:19 AM

yeah that looks like it should perform well anyone try one yet any feedback?

CHP has it for only $12.50.

That's cheap. I might pick one up as well

I have one on my tb108 with race head. No mileage on it so far, but do know this: it is huge! It must be 4.5" in diameter and almost 2" thick . It fits on the vm26 perfectly and is very light. It is a foam filter that you have to oil but for street probably won't need any oil. And it would not be any better in rain than anything else due to the design.

like it says I think the design is built to act as a make shift pressurized air box, so in theory if it works it should give you slightly better gains, probably nothing noticable but might show up on a dyno

Mind taking a pic of it mounted on the bike? And, maybe a pic from the rear?

slimbo · 06-12-2009, 01:16 AM
