850 commando air filter

Eddiefnq said:

my ham can filter is a very tight fit worse than my 750.
the question is, has anyone machined down their intake manifolds.
I'm thinking of taking 2mm off each flange face that would still give me 1/4" left on each flange thickness.
I tried to find a thinner air filter but had no luck.

The RGM has the mesh thinned in length plus the bolts are shorter. The filter they use can be bought elsewhere

Update, using the same ebay UK listing I bought 2 more filter elements, what turned up was another Purolator and a Mahle.

So they are a clearing house for old stocks so there is potential for a too stiff version to turn up but the Mahle will work equally as well with only sunglasses needed .

Thanks kommando. LX157 does cross reference to lots of other makes of filter..

Go by application ie the vehicles it fits, just make sure you check on the flexibility of the inner mesh as some are stiffer than others and you need to be able to bend it to fit the ham can.
