Air cleaners.

Can you please share your thoughts on these. How do they compare to the cones? I think they look neat and tidy but is there a difference in performance?

Thanks

Hi Cali,
The air intake silencer does help the noise level for neighbours etc.
You do need to change your carby needles.
Very much on the downside IMHO is you cannot check your carby rubbers properly without removing the silencer box.
I have a student with one fitted to his trike and do not like it for the above reason. :cry:

Thanks Mc Guyver.

The noise is not an issue for me. I can see what you mean with the rubbers. The cones it is then.
