Airfilters, are they necessary?

Alright dudes, I asked and that ebay seller said those airboxes's reserve was set at 25 bucks. So it'd be about the same to go back to stock instead of pods. What do you think? I'm leaning more towards stock.

Just buy the thing and let's all move on. Stock air filters are better than almost any other arrangement on the street. they don't have that freshly minted cafe Racer look, but they do work.

As a stop gap you can get/ borrow/steal off a washing line, some tights (pantyhose?) and double them up and put them over the inlets held with zip ties or elastic bands. At least that will protect the engine from crap in the mean time.

haha nice, i will for sure do that in the meantime!

thanks for all the help everyone, i'm gonna buy the stock boxes
