Title: Wowee this is pretty inexpensive.

I never thought the paper GS filters will ever drop this low.

7.95 and 7.50 shipping. Maybe someone oughta do a group buy ... heck they probably have just 1. I'll see what will fall out of the tree ...

Anyway that thing looks well made, and a damn good bit better made than the stock, though I've never had the stock one fall apart in a dozen washings ...

Cool.

GV700 is like 1985 era. The GS500 could be the old GS500 from the 70's and 80's. It is a beat up box. Looks like old dead stock and they only have 1.
Be sure it is really for a GS500 1989+
Never heard of that company. Sometimes you buy cheap - you get cheap.
I see they are available from other places and the box probably isn't beat up:

Other places have them. There are quite a few different air filters out there - some cheap, others up to $50 (K&N)

Dude the GV700 madura and the 89-11 GS500 used the same air filter. It is the right filter.
Yea they may have just 1 though. But there is more on the bay, that was just the cheapest.
Cool.
