hello john and welcome. do you mean a 550 model? 500"s stopped production in 73. as far as "cone " filters do you mean pods? i do not run pod or cone filters as you call them( nothing wrong with that). but i think k&n is a vendor for them along with a few other folks.

35mm you need to find a short one like 2.5 inches the 3inch plus one bind against the frame on the outer carbs. K and n would be the best bet maybe uni but  dont get the metal cone ones by emgo they are #$%* i learnt it the hard way.

Good luck
