Piper Cross Filters

Does anyone know where I can get those individual foam piper-x or equivalent filters from quite cheaply....Burton power want £40 for a set and don't even know if they'll fit over my bike carbs! Cheers Oli.

I need to get some for my throttle bodys and am planning on trying the local bike shops, when i was into bikes they were a standard add on especcially on two strokes and werent very dear. I am going to look for individual K and N type that fit over the inlet.
I have a new pipercross px600 panel filter but cant fit it under the bonnet without it hitting the chassis,.

Oli,
I was looking for ages a few months ago. The ones on e-bay often sell for more than retail!! However whilst looking i read loads about them and everything i read said BAD things about them. It seems that they effect air flow a lot! The big foam ones are much better if you have room. I didn't so have made an air box and remote cone filter near the grill, like the reverie ones.

Suppose this has not answered your question!

Had thought of an airbox and K&N on the end of a pipe near the grill but would not be able to fit them under the bonnet! Can get the carbs to clear just without cutting the side out. Should be simple if I can find some decent foam ones.....why do they restrict flow so much??? Tempted to run it without a filter at £40! Not exactly dusty in Aberdeenshire! Oli.

why not cut a hole in the bonnet?
