You will be happy, if not then sell it to me... Randy offers good products and stands behind them. Knowing him first hand, I sand with him as well.

I have UNIpods also. They make several sprays specifically for them. About $12 to $24 a can but being a cheap sob I don't use them. I wash and dry mine then dip them in any 30wt oil I have laying around, wring them out and install. Dave

A small cost to the value you get. The amount of dirt and crap I wash out of my UNI filters is shocking. When I take them off to wash them and see the intake throats of my carbs clean and pristine, awesome.

Are your pods red or black?

Red shows how dirty they are... Black means clean them as often as the Red ones. You just know from the color.... :blum1:

Works good every oil change, wait till you see the crud that flushes out when you wash them. I use dish soap and very hot water, twice. Then a good dry off period. Fans help speed that up if you need to ride,,,

The description has been changed so no one else make the assumption that the filter oil or cleaner is included with the purchase of the air filter.

I replied to your email this morning. I do not have the stock brake light switch in stock, I have a call into my Yamaha supplier for pricing to get you one.

The brake light switch I sell on the website is the conversion switch for the FJR master cylinder when adding it to the FJ. Since the FJR is ABS they use a switch that functions opposite of the stock FJ switch.

I will let you know via email about the stock brake light switch.
