Randy sells a couple of different ones. Go with the Wix, better filter.

I'm not sure if the filters are available in England.

There is also a chrome filter i believe form K&N, the K&N303C.  Randy goes on there aswell.  I go by a different name on there, and i'm not telling :hi:

HTH.

when i got mine i took it to halfords and checked lots of filters and ended up with a fiat one, a sinequecento one i think but will check it later on and see, crash bars do not get in the way at all.

the one i use is an hof287 from halfords, they had lots that fitted but i liked the size and shape of that one best, works fine for me.

If you don't have engine guards (not CRASH bars) then keep the filter short. Otherwise even a gentle low side on the Left can shear off the filter. No limping home or riding till a new one goes on. My first filter (a Wix) stuck out far enough that it would make contact. Once I saw that potential I went with a shorter Amsoil filter with anti-drain back feature like the Wix. I still want some engine guards.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

I like your positive thinking, "engine guards" :good2:

The installation instructions will have several part numbers for US and international filters you can use for x-ref.

In your case, I would call them "auxiliary light brackets".
