Thanks Warp & Steel. I think I might try that. I have the triple K&Ns in a box ready to do, thinking they were helpful, although this thread has confused me as to whether that it true.
That 150 mm height version of this filter is interesting. No one's ever tried to make a bigger bearclaw, have they? (I have to quit looking at the humor pics. I keep thinking, "Ya know, I'd do that".)
