Air filter source

[earlfor]

Anyone have a source for stock air filter elements for an 83 1100E and an 85 1150E? I had three sources and since I last needed one, they have been discontinued at all three.

I totally knew that. You gotta watch these older guys. They impart their wisdom to us but every now and then they test us to see if were learning anything.


I love Bike Bandit. If they don't have it, they go out of their way to find it for you. They have done that for me twice. They even told me they could help me locate a new NOS tank for my bike but that it may take a while. It is listed as discontinued on their web site.

They rock. I find them pricey, but they earn it.

Earl, K&N is the way to go, better flow, and they last a long time with proper care, I have a original vintage K&N on my bike and it is still in great shape, that million mile waranty is not a marketing ploy, they are very durable.

and they still have them for our vintage bikes.
here is the one for the 85 1150

and here is the one for your 1100

I have them in everything I own (well I need to get one for the mower)

[Jethro]

I just recharged my K&N pods, they really look like brand new again! Love that cleaner and red oil.

Thanks Leon. I just bookmarked those URL's. Next replacement will be K & N for sure. I guess if I buy two of each, I should be good for at least 100,000 miles on each bike huh? :-)
