Has anyone shaved the ears and replaced with K&N. I can not get my filters to fit right. Any suggestions are welcomed.:doh:

I've got K&Ns in my ears. They fit in just fine. Did you get the right filters?

I don't have the ears anymore. Shaved em off.

did you get the tapered ones? That's what I used. I did have to put a spacer under the rear fuel tank mount to bring it up a little, but other than that they fit ok.

Okay, I feel stoooooopid now. You have done a shave and replaced the whole filter assembly. I just put replacement K&Ns in my filter boxes. :doh:

Mike do you have any pics? Don't feel stupid Foxhound. I did not say that I put the tapered ones on.

Has anyone shaved the ears...

Nope. My wife plucks my ears with a tweezers! No pics to share, though... ;)

What is the right K&N filter size to fit in the stock ears? I bought a used 750 recently, and it hasn't been maintained in a while. Would like to upgrade as I give it a little tune up, if I can. Always had success with K&N filters in the past.

I just bought the 54mm oval K&N pods for my bike. I'll let you know tomorrow if I have any problems

I've got K&N tapered pod filters on my '86.
Like Mike, I had to raise the tank slightly with a spacer to save them from contacting the underside as well.
I also clamped the rubber boots over the small tabs on the carb intake, as I've had the right side filter fall off while riding once.:eek: It seems to hold the filters in place a lot firmer.

I like the idea of protecting the K&N resusable filters inside the ear boxes.
What is the cleaning procedure for the K&Ns like?

Found a fairly good deal on the K&N's at Motorcycle Accessory's Warehouse or

51.95 + 9.81 s&h, it's a closeout.. probably because the bike is no longer being built?

K&N sells cleaning and re-oil kits for thier filters. Spray the filter with the cleaner and then let it set a few and then run water through it ( backwards to the air flow direction ) repeat until clean. let it dry over night , DO NOT use compressed air to blow it dry... that will move/rip filter material within screen and ruin filter, then re-oil it the next day and re-install. Ready to ride again!

Thanks 95VN750, sounds quick and easy and not very messy.
