Has anyone had any experience with using anything other than a stock air filter element? As the stock 83 piece is going to cost $30.00 I would like to come up with something that is more effecient and less $$$, a wash/oil/reuse filter would be ideal. I am considering using the Uni-filter 'pods' and cutting them down to fit over the rubber 'velocity stacks' inside the stock airbox.They make a size that should fit nicely and attatch with a simple hose clamp. Any thoughts on this? Or better yet, a better solution?

Re Air Filter
      The only aftermarket type of filter that is a stock replacement type is the one made by Uni filter, I suppose you could fit two K & N's but it would be more work.
    I have been using the Uni Filter since 1983 with good results, just type  Uni Filter in your search engine.
      Cheers Ken

Can anyone confirm that the Uni-filter will fit correctly in an 83 airbox? I know that they work great in an 82 but I need someone who has one installed in an 83 to verify their results.
The catalogs list this filter as fitting both an 82 and an 83, can this be possible with the differences in the two years stock elements?

Hi,    
   We have two 83 visions with Uni filters installed, & no problems, I also had one installed in my 82 with the Hannigan Fairing but I had installed 83 carbs.
