Thread: A log of my updates on my '32 Brookville highboy

Tweet

Thanks for that info, Dave. I was on a fence about thinking if it was too small or not. First I figured that the lateral open area was quite a bit more than twice the carb throat diameter (filter is 11.5" X 7.87" X 1.87", carb is 5-1/8" diam. neck) but a few people have now told me it's too small so now I'm doubting my simple area comparison. I found a K&N filter that I think I can make fit and it's 4" thick vs the 1.87" of this one. It's the K&N which is 11.5" X 8.125" X 4"; I may give this a try but if it doesn't work it's a $55 experiment. Or I could look into stacking two of the ones already in there so double the height and lateral area. Other opinions are appreciated.


Btw, you can just about see the huge one I had on my old ZZ4 which I still have so I can use that until I figure out where to go with this one.




Btw #2: I still have these Sanderson Zoomies shown above (with all the baffles not installed yet) that fit the ZZ4 but since they don't fit the new motor I'm thinking of selling these. They're in perfect, barely used condition. Any opinions what they're worth?

Nick - there are several of us here that have been 'chartered' to help others spend their hard earned money

If that K&N works, let us know. I've seen that element but really hate to spend my own $$ on a whim I would have to turn my air cleaner 90* due to engine setback and the fact my cleaner is part way under the firewall recess, I would change it out though, dam' the looks.

That convoluted hose is 'gone'
