690R Air Filter Sock Mod

[Dwayne OMember]

Thanx to MickP for the advice a long time ago and NickJ for the reminder this week (no thanx to TB actually at all) :laugh:

I grabbed some Pool Skimmerbox Socks from KMart (Coles here don`t stock them) $5 for 5 socks

Here is the standard 690 filter and springs clean, oiled & ready to go back in

Filter snorkel (airbox lid) and clean skimmer sock ready to go back on

Oiled up the sock & installed over the top of the snorkel (only oiled the one half that is actually going between snorkel & filter to catch the dust) Left the rest oil free so as to not collect an abundance of extra dust on top of the Airbox :whistle:

All back together ready to ride

A very simple mod that can be easily be replaced quickly on a long ride without removing the actual Airfilter if it is reasonably clean Not to mention the extra life expectancy of the Air Filter due to less cleaning required & less Filter Oil expense too :woohoo:

THANX AGAIN GUYS

Great idea there Eags. I will have to grab a few of those socks next time I’m near a Kmart

I can`t take any credit for this one mate,,,,
But I do like the fact of being able to share the tips with others on here

Like my tank anchor tip, now Twobanger is gonna have a go at two spinners in a Husky tank :whistle:

Same principal should work on a variety of late models bikes with plastic tanks, there are heaps now with plastic tanks that have fasteners for all sorts of things like shrouds etc etc , and if not treated carefully they can strip out, seize up or like mine, spin freely in the tank :whistle:
