So I am riding my motorbike to work this morning in light traffic and, boy, is this thing running great! The engine just keeps getting better and better - even after thousands of miles!
After my full workday, I give the bike a lookover and - hey! - the air filter is GONE! Ha!
So I rode the thing home, stopping along the way at the hardware store for some 4mm screws.
I've been amassing styrofoam pieces lately and I dug up some foam that came in the packing of my newest bike helmet. Quickly searching through the archives of MotoredBikes.com I saw an example of a beer can air filter. I can do that!
So I drank half a Pabst Blue Ribbon, poured out the rest, then cut the two ends down to around 1/2" thickness. I drilled small screwholes 1 1/2" apart, and I used a tiny drill bit to drill a bunch of little holes in what did serve as the bottom of the aluminum beer can. The foam filter was sandwiched in between the two end pieces.
Screwed the thing in there and it works very well! Takes up less space than the stock original one.
Ha!
