    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

hi all

so it was bucketing down this morning on the way to work and my k&N style pod air filters filled up with water. the '78 gs750e ran like a dog by the time i got to work. does anyone know of some type of cover you can get for wet weather, or has anyone found a better solution. my filters are paper - i've been told i cannot oil them like proper k&n's.

cheers

You need oilable filters like K&N or UNI. Or just don't ride in the rain!
 
Yep, real K&N's are worth every penny. I rode for days in POURING rain with mine and had no problems.
 
i thought so

i thought so

thanks for the reply guys. yeah, i guess i should have forked out the cash in the first place rather than going for the cheaper option.
in the meantime, i'm working on a couple of ideas to cover the filters. i'll post solution when/if i have it done.

cheers

does anyone know the source of where to look up the k&n part numbers for filters for our bikes?
 
yeah, I had a non k&n filter on my car, and when I washed it (it was junk) and it was wet, virtually NO water flowed through. I know k&n makes filter covers for their bigger stuff, not sure about pods though
