Ram air pod filters for 650

[geraldthehamster]

Hello, me again, in Yorkshire. I'm looking at Ram Air pod filters for my 1988 650 Bros. MR-008 is 85mm tall and MR-015 is 117mm tall. Will the taller filters fit under the tank? Cheers.

greald, where are you getting the part number from?

Someone in the Bros FB group says he was recommended to use MR-015. I'm not yet convinced they will fit

Just for reference, the UNI filters most of us use are 101.6 mm (4 inches) tall and get squished a little under the tank.

Thank you, that's very helpful. The larger Ram Airs are even taller, so perhaps I shoud get the 85mm ones. Do you think the smaller surface area will make much difference?

I guess if the larger filter is partly crushed against the tank, that negates the benefit of the larger surface area...
