Hey all,
Recently picked up a new project, a 1980 Kawasaki Z250 which happened to come with a pair of those cheap universal air filters (http://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/images/products/large_1074_pod-42mm-universal-motorcycle-air-filter-photo-1.jpg). From the various threads I've read on the ton these things are worthy of fire. Now ideally I would like to put the old air filter box back on the bike but when it arrived to me in a box of old parts that came with the bike, it appears as though it has been butchered beyond repair.
So my question is besides these bodgy chrome filters is there any kind of filter out there that will give me decent performance where I ideally don't have to play around with re jetting. Surely even a K&N pod filter has to be better than these things or would something like http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/RAMAIR-Kawasaki-Z250-A1-A2-Race-Pod-Air-Filter-48mm-/350770821654?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51ab91fa16&_uhb=1 be a somewhat better.
My technical knowledge on carby's is still somewhat average so I appreciate any suggestions on the matter!
