    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

K&N air filter

I was cleaning my K&N air filter and noticed the foam seal on the front is some what flat now and no life to it (foam seal is dead even with the flat edge). Thinking about replacing it with some other type of foam
(weather stripping?) as to get a tighter seal with it. Thoughts?
 
I added some of those felt pads to the back of my filter to push the seal flush against the hole.

But I don't see why the weatherstripping wouldn't work as well.
 
I had the same problem with mine; weather stripping worked fine.
 
It was a commercial weather stripping.
It came in sheets.
I am struggling to remember where I picked it up.
 
A sheet would work, that way I can cut it to size. The strips are gonna be a pain, since they will kink and deform with too tight of a radius. So where did you get yours lol.
 
I believe one of the industrial refrigeration guys from Cimco gave it to me. I'd try an HVAC place. It came rolls 3mm, and 5mm
 
Hmmm....well Glider that would work for your filter, this is my filter.
 
You'd never? wut? seen a filter like that or use a o-ring what what?? lol

Aaaah okay, the 80-81 GS 750 E and 1100 E, think the Ls had them, don't know if anything else did. Not a bad filter, mine is 31 years old. Oh that round thing isn't an o-ring, it's the foam gasket that I was taking about.
