Close to the cylinders?  Where are you mounting it.  Mine's mounted between the petcock and the carbs, nowhere near the cylinders.

Makes a huge, difference, too.  Catching all kinds of crud.

i dont have very much room to work with, if i shift where i have the current one mounted it will be too close to the "hot" parts of the motor aka. cylinders..

right now where i have the filter it kinks the fuel line, if i run extra fuel line it put the filter w/in range of getting to close to hot stuff.
so...
yeah...

damn gs....  :icon_razz:

You take the airbox off, and fasten the filter directly to the carbs.

 NOOB questions follow:

   Would a lunch box fit a 2006 gs500F?

   Is the K & N filters SU 5589, the so-called pods?

   Which is considered better the lunch box or the SU 5589?

Thanks!

with the lunchbox you need to buy a breather for your valve cover.

The links explained a lot...

   However now I would like to know,

       the part number for a K & N crankcase filter that can be used to complete the installation of a lunchbox air filter?

            and how much do they usually run for?

                         Still debating over SU 5589 or a lunch box for an F model  (trying to figure out $$$ and installation conveniences for both).... Any help!

 
                                                                                                               Thanks!
