hey i was wondering what air filters you guys are running on your 86 tecates. i was thinking of going with one of these http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Honda-Kawasaki-Suzuki-Yamaha-NEW-Chrome-Air-Filter-39mm_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35595QQihZ009QQite mZ190202675033QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW and clamping it straight to the carb because they are cheap, but i think it might be too small. what setup do you think is best for dune riding? anyone have any suggestions.

I wouldnt run that on sand without a pre-filter... whats wrong with your airbox?

my tecate never came with an airbox it has some weird k&n that adapts to the stock aitbox boot and i was going to run a pre-filter on that on i was just worried about the size

I have seen people use the '88 newer kx 250/500 boots to angle the carb to the left... I am not sure how much clearance the frame allows though

yeah i have seen them also, but i dont like the look of the filter sticking out the side. i would rather just get one that will fit on the back of the carb and clear the shock, this is why i was looking at the little k&n style one but im afraid it might be too small and not allow enough air flow.
