zanx Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 Seeing as no one on the planet seems to sell Aprilia Climber spares, I decided to bodge my holed air filter. I just removed the soft sealing lip from the filter, chopped up a Vertemati filter so it was roughly the right size, stuffed it into the airbox so it took up approximately the same area as the old one inside, tucked what was left outside the box under the subframe spars, positioned the soft lip taken off the old filter on top and clamped it all down with the airbox lid. The hole in the original was made by those stupid spreader things in the airbox lid, the carb had fine grit round it, compression seems to be ok so I'm hoping the bore has escaped unharmed.

zanx Posted September 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 I'd now like to recommend Lead Mine Racing, not only did he phone up to double check what bearings I was runnning in the wheels before sending them, the service was fast and very helpful. Postage from NI to here was superfast. Thumbs up from me, very happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
