I have a UNI Filter pod filter on my trike that measures 4"dia. X 6" long. Does anyone have one like this and use a dry pre-filter, or an Outerwear's cover on it? I need something for riding in sand.

most of the hard core riders use K&N with outterwear prefilters here in the west coast dunes.

El as a last resort use womens knee high nylons as a pre filter. I've used them since back in the early days of riding the dunes.

And most of the kids who regurgitate information that is irrelevant should learn that there are experienced people on here who don't need suggestions from people who have zero experience.
I prefer UNI as well Nico. I think an outerwear is a fantastic idea personally.

I run the UNI's in all my trikes now. No outers, just a good dose of foam air cleaner oil.

Here's my typical regimen:
DAY 1 - Ride with properly oiled UNI (or stock or Moose) foam filter with Outerwear** prefilter.
DAY 2 - Remove outerwear, just run (still clean and oiled) foam filter
DAY 3 - Pull clean / freshly oiled foam filter #2 with clean Outerwear cover #2 from gallon plastic ziploc (this was prepped at home and placed with my riding gear). Five minute install and ready to ride.
DAY 4 - See DAY 2
**Doesn't have to be Outerwear name brand. K&N makes these too. Most are even machine washable!
The drawback is that the Outerwear covers are tight and tend to collapse the foam filter somewhat. If you have the OEM mesh cage AND IF the cage is compatible with the aftermarket foam filter this is not a problem.
Some filters just have a spring inside. I have had mixed results with these.

I should have prefaced this whole section with 'For a 85-87 250R with a stock airbox.....'
Truth is, I have no idea what the airbox / air filter setup looks like for a TriZ. For all I know, Yamaha could have put them in the gas tank area.

"EL" I've used aluminum sprockets for years with good success. As the soft power sand isn't as abrasive as dirt and or mud. Sand doesn't cling to the moving parts and squeezes out easier while submerged riding the razor tops.

Hey Nico, if you find out that you can't locate one in that size I can get the outerwears R&D guy. I got his number somewhere. He made me a custom outerwear for my 85 250r.

Here you go El, I run these prefilters with great success.
Uni all the way.
If this isn't the exact fit, search R2C prefilters; they make several different sizes.

That's what I need help with. I cannot find outerwears by sizes; Only part numbers.
Could I give you a couple of sizes?? I need spares and can't find the invoice for them...
