    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.

NCS airfilter element?

The least expensive place I can find on Ebay to buy the foam element for my 79 GS850 is Niche Cycle Supply. Has anyone bought this filter and is it good quality? The shipping charges to Canada are reasonable. Did a search but came up empty.
 
Yep, a new OEM foam element (you shouldn't need the metal "cage" carrier part, unless that went missing) is not that expensive and will last many years; $26.74 USD at my usual purveyor. Not sure what that translates to in Canadian Kopecks.

Uni also makes a foam filter element for the GS shafties that works just fine; Google up Uni NU-2436.

Make sure the airbox sides are sealed with weather stripping foam, and that the top of the metal air filter frame is sealed to the top of the airbox with the same foam.
 
Will do re the foam strips sealing the "cage " to the airbox. These bits were stuck and subsequently tore when removing the filter element (they were rotted). Will do my best to seal it off when reinstalling. Thanx for that.
