T500 air filter options
Posted: Wed Nov 25, 2015 10:48 am
I'm looking for an air filter Y boot to go between my carbs and air filter box on my '71 T500.
I'd like to buy a new reproduction part as even the NOS are probably as hard as a rock. Is there a company that makes a reproduction boot? I don't want to pay $80 for one that is too hard to install.
I know that with the Yamaha RD350 and 400, it's common to get a K&N filter with a Y boot already attached to replace the airbox. Is there something similar available for the T500? This would be a plan B as I really want to keep this bike stock.
thanks,
Eric
