    Best K&N for 29mm SB?

    I need some filtration, as these velocity stacks won't cut it in the real world

    So, most people use the ovals? or the dual ovals? Tapered ovals/

    So many choices on the K&N site

    Todays superbikes require free breathing. These special high performance filtering elements with chrome end caps not only work great, but look good too. Dont strangle your bike with poor air filtrationinsist on the best... "Super Pro." Sold in sets of 4. For Mikuni RS Flatslide 34mm, 36mm, 38mm, 40mm and OEM Stock Carbs.

    Almost identical to K&N except for 1/2 to 1/3 the price.

        I have tapered ovals on my 29s.
        I thought this was a neat set-up.

          I was posting that more as simply a refernce for the brand rather than a direct fit for the application at hand. APE offers several sized air filters for far cheaper than K&N.

            I figured that out.

            But, I don't want the APEs unless they filter as well as the K&Ns

            Saving $60 is a bit foolish at this point

              Amen. I have K&N factory-style filters on the GK and 850, and K&N pods on the Yamaha. Especially when it comes to pods, I wouldn't use any other brand.

                I have a set of K&N RC-2454 that'll fit your VM29s. Darn near new-in-box with clamps, paperwork... but the one caveat is two of the pods' rubber flanges have been shaved about 1/4" to allow fitment behind GS1000 side covers. Yours for a song + shipping, 14 day returns accepted...
