Narrow sausage filter
I'm on the last legs of getting my bike carb conversion in place, but I'm getting cheesed off trying to set up an airbox/filter. Now
I'm looking for the quick and simple solution, which is a sausage filter.
Trouble is, the stock sausage filter backplates are 150mm top to bottom, and I haven't got that much space to spare.
Does anyone know of a sausage filter that is about 100mm top to bottom and around 375mm wide?
All clues gratefully accepted!
David

Can't help with a direct answer I'm afraid, but I would say that most filters (mine's a TTS one) are "handed" ie the
dome is closer to one side of the "150mm" width than the other, so when I had a lower bonnet line I spun the backplate through 180'
and only then did it fit.
I know this might be useless info for you, but if there's a chance it may help it's worth saying!

I got a custom sausage from ITG as i was very restricted for space with my carbs. It ended up being entirely made from foam, like socks but for all 4
trumpets - like a sausage. I think it actually cost less than a normal sausage.

How about an airbox with a remote filter?

I've been trying to do just that, just in case I can't find a suitable filter. I really don't have much space though - I can fit an
airbox, but have few routes for the inlet and its filter.
Still, it's fun playing around with this stuff, especially as it's peeing down again so I can't drive it anyway!
