HR guys,

 As per John Harmon's recommendation, I have been  using a UNI filter UP-6300 ast motorcycle filter.  Not only do I not like  the looks of the thing but it lays on the inside of the cowl and has to deform a  bit to do that, it also is wearing where the cuff slides over the Y-valve.   I am using John's intake Y valve and the angle of the filter side may not be  quite right.  Has anyone had this problem and or have a solution?   Perhaps going to a K&N filter will do it, any model numbers would help my  search for a solution.

 Thanks,

 Jim Stone

Jim  

            I had a similar set up on my second Harmon.  I used a conical K&N filter that had a bit of an offset in the attach flange.  Part # RB 091.   It did touch the starter and I put a big gob of RTV at the point of contact.  It also tended to touch the cowling but never seemed to cause and damage.  I do not see any reason why you could not squeeze a bit to get more clearance.  It is a nice simple system.

Hey Tom,

 Been doing some research on filters.  Your  part number was close but I came up with RB-0910 which is 5 inches high, and an  RB-0900 which is 4 inches in height.  Do you think the 4 inch high one  would work better, i.e., less contact with cowl and starter?

 I also found some cone shapes which are about 5  inches high but have 3 1/2 inch diameter top, perhaps that would work, what do  you think?

 I wish my cowl was off so I could take some  measurements.  I just put it back on Sunday after the annual  inspection.

Jim,

  

   I'm using a K&N cone filter on my Harmon intake w/bypass, 3.5 inch top. Works great with my Skytech starter and clears the cowl with 2" to spare. Suprisingly, K&N had compettive prices...

Smokey,

 If you happen to have that K&N model number,  you might save me from ordering the wrong one.

 Thanks,

Thanks Smokey,

 Please don't pull that cowl for me.  I await  your confirmation.  BTW, send me a pic of yours so I can put a name to a  Rocket.

Hey Smokey,

 Did you happen to pull your cowl and check which  filter you have?

 Thanks,

 Jim

Hi Jim,



Not yet, but I will next week. Are you using the Harmon air intake system?

If I start my annual this weekend, I'll have mine off also and can give 

you a K&N part number.
