suggested air filter

[1sexynucca]

i would like to buy an air filter for my firebolt b4 i get it dino tuned... any suggestions on a good one?

K&N works great, you should also do the open air box mod and breather re-route before your dyno run also. There is a bunch of posts on here about how to do those mods.

k&n highflow filter...but this is no use if you do not have an open airbox as bpg mentioned.

and when you are doing that, the breather re-route is a simple extra with very good results, as bpg also mentioned

I wish BMC made a filter for us but I haven't found one yet.

Taken straight from the Buell website. Pretty much same as K&N from what I understand.

Yes but BMC doesn't make a filter for our bikes. It is similar to a K&N just much better. I know from experience in my Gixxer that the BMC was much better than the K&N that was in it when I got it.

Sorry, by BMC I thought you meant Buell Motorcycle Co. Never heard of BMC filters. Time to educate myself

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Yeah, BMC makes lots for all the other makes of bikes but Buells.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it

If im not mistaken, isnt the airbox on the 07's already open??

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

Yeah, its pretty opened up compared to older years, but you can completely delete the upper lid other than a cap on top of the filter itself.

oooh ok... Im still new to motorcycles so im still learning.. Thanks

And it looks total bad-ass if you have the translucent airbox cover [up]

 

[BuellPartsGuy]

yes it does!

I have the Buell Race Air Filter listed above for sale. It has been used for approx. 2K miles and is in perfect condition. I'll let it go for $30 shipped.

Here is another option. With the dollar being so weak it is a bit pricy though.

Not wanting to Hyjack the thread but does anyone know if they make a Translucent Red Airbox cover for the XB9R?

 

[dmp0001]

the S airbox cover will fit the R bikes.
I use the buell race filter and like it, a huge improvement in throttle responce and sound, plus tou dont have to oil it.
