I modified these to fit the 28 mm mikuni carbs with KR1S airbox rubbers.
I find there is a bit less induction noise with these filters over the foam pod filters.

RD350LC (80 to 82) intake carb rubbers will do the same job as the KR1S rubbers for TM28's and you can get them more readily. :grin:

The R6 tail assembly was moving and shaking a bit due to "engineering" issues.

The lower part that holds tail light actually cracked in its weakest spot :smt010

I will probably purchase a CF replacement part and a few other CF parts just because.

Can anyone recommend a CF part vendor that sells parts that fit??? R6 parts... front fender, chain guard, maybe solo seat piece.

New upgrades include more brackets (to be PC black when I get another batch of parts off to the powder coater), standoffs, and SS fasteners.

It doesn't move any more :smt023
