RAMAIR Filters bespoke Rocket-3 underclaw filter.

So I take it that the ramair didn't do to well on the dyno.

Still waiting for a dyno comparrison between tripple filters and ramair seams to have gone very quiet.

I asked Richard at Maxton yesterday about the GP20 v GP30, he recommends the GP20 based on price & design features, the 30's are really for sports bikes. I ordered mine today (GP20's with compression, rebound & preload adjustment. Now told that there is a 2 week turnround on them,- on Thursday it was 7 days, how things change.

Ah the advantage of having them close. 2 weeks is not bad - I've had mates wait 2 months or more for race stuff. - So what price were the one's you've ordered?.

AFAIK - they've still not been tested against RU 2780's. They were (or so I understand) tested against a no-claw possible filter.

Must say I'll be surprised if there's anything too drastic in the performance from the filter alone. It's not that simple. In any case, if I remember correctly, it's primary purpose was to reduce noise and fit under an uncut bear claw. It may also flow better than triple 2780's but it would be a big ask to expect that to translate to an actual performance increase. I think Neville said he was satisfied that it's a good, viable option but he seemed to be holding back on any further bold statements about power output. I would have thought we'd have heard by now if the numbers were startlingly good.

Are the K&N's they are being compared against the ones that will fit under a bearclaw or the larger K&N's like Ponters runs ?

You've got it in one, and described exactly its purpose - an alternative to triple 2780's, that works a little better but no big power producer. An unmentioned advantage is its greater dirt capacity, something that foam filters are well known for.
If I had already forked out for triple RU-2780's I'm not sure they would be changed out for the Ramair - unless it is found to clear up some of the K&N fueling anomalies.

The comparison that Nev made was with RU-1770's that will not fit under a stock bc. Apparently it was only a quick check and not a full test. That could be why it hasn't been published - its not a representative comparison.

I don't know where that opinion comes from, & I have never been interested in comparisons between the Ramair & the K&N's as I have never had them. To me the advantages are that the Ramair filter is a designed piece of kit for the Rocket, it fits under the Bearclaw, it accommodates the air temp sensor, it is an improvement on the stock filter system, & with the plenum removed I now have a nice luggage space which is a lot more useful than the original filter.

You never had to listen to them.

IMO that is a reasonable assumption and one that most prospective purchasers will make in the absence of an explanation.
