Fitted my new k&n air filter today. Took her out today with the new k&n filter fitted. Very easy to install only thing i had to do was turn down the idle screw as after fitting it engine was revving high as hell.So for all who still run the single carb twin choke set up its worth spending the money. The part number custom racing assemgly No is 56-9032 from k&n uk.
Sounds good and feels more responsive.
And to all you 131 ers who run the twin 40s and 45s yes i am jelous but this set up will do meantime till i can afford.
Incase any one is intrested contact details follow.

On the K&N I had it attached to the baseplate for the filter. I can't quite remember but I think this could have been a modification caried out by the previous owner of the filter Grin

Currently I run twin 40 Dellortos with K&N filters and the breather is vented to the open air through its own small filter.

Drilled a 9mm hole in base plate and squeezed the breather pipe through. Works fine..

Yes that works but as Jason said you are putting dirty oily air into the engine. What did you do with the smaller 6mm tube that goes from the air filter housing to the bottom of the carburettor?
