For whatever reason, the link to Pipercross in my message doesn't work, but if you type it in, it works. (my bad, had a comma directly after the address, it's fixed NOW). There is a lot of technical info on their site regarding air filtration in general, it's a good read. They do recommend their formulation of cleaner and filter oil, so there's something I missed that wasn't mentioned on the Ebay listing. At the price, I'd reckon they would supply cleaner AND oil with the filter! Suppose I'll have to wait and see. They also DO offer one off filter fabrication services (bespoke service), so bikes that filters are no longer available for (like my Honda Elsinores) could have new filters made for them. I imagine you would at least need a usable template filter for them to go by however. Thought this info could be beneficial to the members.

I would imagine that the long distance, and the cavity, between the filter and the venturi of the carb could make for some bizarre flow dynamics if too great a vacuum was created by too restrictive a filter. I am using an oiled foam I cut out of a motocross filter, with no complaints. My stock filter had pretty much disappeared and been presumably digested by the motor.

I have supplied this Dutch filter to owners with no issues at all . Radiators should be available by the end of January .

There has been much discussion about air filters over the years... I won't rehash any of it here. I recently found an NOS air filter that had not been oiled (thereby making it disintigrate) and sent it to a filter manufacturer for air flow testing. As many of you know, the Re5 is very sensitive to air flow issues, so we had to be very careful with material choice and composition. After many iterations, and tests performed by myself and the material supplier, I bit the bullet and had a tool made to cut them and have gotten them remanufactured. It is my opinion that this filter will outperform the factory filter and should last a good long time. It will not deterioriate over time like the factory Suzuki filters. I personally tested the filters on several of my personal bikes and found them to perform well. I hope that this will be a help to some of you. They are available now... Send Miss Barbara an email to Rotary Recycle with your complete address and contact information and we will get one out to you. For the next 30 days, we will offer special pricing of 15.00 plus shipping. Best Regards, Jess

Hello Jess,
I got my RE5 2 weeks ago, checked what filter is installed and found a self made one. I would be very interested in getting one if still available. Just dont know how to contact Miss Barbara at Rotary Recycle. I would like to order 2 filters but would need to know where to place the order. Thanks so much!
