They are a Yamaha dealer in Federal Way, WA, south of Seattle.  They claim to have the lowest prices in the world.  I don't know if that's true, but the parts I ordered were a good bit cheaper than Bike Bandit or the other place in Michigan that I tried recently.  For example, about $25 for an '83 air filter.

They don't stock Vision parts but my order shipped within 9 days.

Their site has the standard yamaha parts catalog lookup system.

Highly recommended.

That's a good price on the air filter.  I think $40.00 is the usual going rate.  Of course, I only pay $5.00 for my modified automobile application Fram unit.

.. whats the cheep air filter from fram??

Fram #3903... ;)

Just grab the top part of the OEM air filter and the base plate...and pull the filter away from the base plate... :o
Toss the filter in the garbage and clean up the base plate.
Add a bead of RED RTV Silicone to the base plate, set filter onto the base plate, put a book on top of the filter and leave to cure for 24 hour's....... 8)

Install your new custom filter in the airbox and your V will love you for a wee while longer... ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D... 8)

                 8).......TIGER....... 8)

Hold on for a second guys. Does everyone realize the OEM filter has that solid top to allow the cover to "press down" and seal the filter in place. Having 3 spare filters. I tried the Fram thing. No matter what, the filter did not properly seal.  I paid $30 for the OEM this year. And considering these can go 25k on the OEM....it's not too expensive.  Did I do something wrong using the Fram?

   Jason,
     Pick up a Uni-Filter as I mentioned down at NV's get together,  I sent two of them back in 2000 due to the foam seal separating .They listen to customer feedback and redesigned the Filter & it works great now, just a plug/play and ride,  ;)
                       Try it you'll like it. ;D
                                 Cheers Ken S.
