Since I haven't been on here for a while, I am out of the loop. Any recommendations on the best place to buy a replacement air filter for my '77GS 750? Anyone stand out from the crowd? Thanks!

Any time I replace an air filter, be it car or bike, I go K&N. Excellent quality, you only need to purchase one for the life of the vehicle, and easy to clean and re-oil (once you learn to not over-oil it). Been running them since the early 70s and never had an issue.

Proper maintenance is crucial for a K&N. If you are unable to perform proper maintenance, get a paper unit and replace it at regular intervals. Of course, that is also proper maintenance, just more expensive.

Hi,
K&N (cotton) or UNI (foam). Both work well when properly maintained. I used both on my bike, depending on which one is clean.
Thank you for your indulgence,

50/50 Simple Green and water, or Palmolive or Dawn and water. Some use gasoline or kerosene, but I personally would not.

I had a hard time finding one for my 78 750, finally wound up finding a uni foam filter from jc whitney, it was around 25-30$ IIRC, but then I had to buy the "filter oil" specifically made for the uni filters separate. I was under the assumption that it came with it but it does not, just so you dont make the same mistake I did and have to wait an extra week to put it in because you forgot the oil.
