nc23 88-89 air filter?

Post by gaz@nc23 »

hi all,
why is it so hard to get hold of an air filter for my bike (nc23 88-89 RRK)? it seems like everywhere i look they have nc29 or nc23 86-87, but never mine.
does anyone one have any recomendations for mods or know wether or not the early 23 or 29 filters fit?

thanx gaz

Gaz,

A simple mod is to cut the filter paper/gauze material out of the filter leaving the steel meshing in, you can then buy filter foam which you cut to size and pre-oil which then fits in under the wire meshing. All you have to do then is keep the filter foam clean and oiled problem solved!. ;)

Simply because the standard Honda item works so well ....

New Honda air filters in stock .. however for a race upgrade carefully remove the paper only from the rear section - up the jet size a little and bingo more power..

4 short trumpets also help - again good used in stock.

Hope that helps

hi'
there was no chance of just buying a new filter element as my gause was removed by the fool who did the bodge job. so i got in touch with GF and hes sorting me out with a brand new one.

just thinking this might be part of the reason why its hard to start....

thanx for the info

Certainly won't be helping.
