Topic: made my own high flow filter

[jmanstuck]

  I was about to buy one when I looked at my paper filter & figured I could build one.
I knew the glue was going to be the challenge. I work at a solvent plant & I knew Dichloromethane
could disolve it, worked like a charm. I got the paper out & brought it home. I then took an old cone filter trimed it to size
used sensor sensitive silicone to put it back together. Bam! a practically free high flow filter.

Not familiar with the term, what exactly is a high flow filter, other than, I suppose flowing more air. Does it change the carb settings, does it compromise the filtering?  Have you a photo?

Bob does have a good point....  I wonder if increasing the air flow would fu*k up the jetting?  I know running pods sometimes does.....

  On a car it just is a bolt on for a little added horsepower. But from what I have gathered on here there is tuning involved with adding a
high flow K&N type filter to a CB. The K&N filter sells for $52 thats the cheapest I could find. Myine cost me $5.  I'll get pics tonight or tommorow.

Anytime you add more air (airfilter/pods) - or help the exhaust get out of the motor faster (4 into 1) changes are going to be needed in jetting..You hear more about jetting when it comes to bikes and not cars because on a fuel injected car, the computer will sense the added airflow, and add more fuel. On a motor runing a carb, the owner needs to make those adjustments...
