I'm doing my carbs and noticed that my air cleaners foam (OEM) is disintegrating rapidly and crumbling to bits. I've noticed that the new replacement air cleaners are avail for around 50 plus shipping. I also notice that they don't use foam but a sort of paper product for the actual filter. Do these breathe differently and do I need to jet differently to make my bike run smoothly? It's an 82 GS1100G. Is there anyplace where I can buy replacement foam or are they history? cheers Paul

Hi babes. As a Rat-biker id recommend going to a foam shop and blagging a...... "sample" ov the same density etc...
$50 for a bit ov foam!!! They're having a laugh.
Good luck.

Hi Paul,
I have both the foam Uni filter and the K&N cotton filter. I interchange them as necessary, depending on which one is clean at the time, and I don't notice any difference in performance or mileage. Just make sure not to over-oil them.
Thank you for your indulgence,

Aha
I checked the usual online parts sources but they don't seem to list the KN or UNI filter options. Where in the world do you get them? cheers PK

Just did a google search on "uni nu-2436" and received tons of hits.Ed
To measure is to know.

most of my parts seem to come from ebay... I got a K&N for my '80 GS550, bolts straight up into the stock air box (they are technically "discontinued" from K&N, but a lot of ebay sellers still have new-old stock on the shelves, which is where mine came from).Comment

When I needed a filter I bought a sheet of foam material from UNI and cut it to size.

Boggled!
So I've been to the UNI website and it doesn't seem like I can order from them as their website has no "shop" function. I've spotted some ebay sellers but have no idea what it is they're selling as no pics or other info. KN seems to be discontinued/unavailable as well. I've even emailed UNI asking for retailers in my area but absolutely no response. BB and Boulevard don't seem to have it either any ideas on where to buy these products? Cheers Paul
