>OK, I did a little looking, and found a K&N kit of individual filters that
>fits the HawkGT. It's part #RC-0982 (K&N number). It's not listed in any
>of the lists except the Factory Inc. list. It is the same number listed for
>the Kawasaki EX500. I bought a set from Chaparral for $36.80, and it fits
>fine. The dimensions are 2-1/8" ID flange, offset oval, 3x4" base, 2x3"
>top, 2-3/4" long. Dennis Kirk doesn't use K&N part numbers, but has the
>Kaw. EX500 filter kit listed for $43.99 in their 1992 catalog.

>Boy, I didn't give the stock airbox anough credit for it's function as a
>muffler. I don't care, but you can REALLY hear some carb drake now. With
>the TBR pipe, it actually sounds like a motorcycle. There was a moderate
>but noticable top end improvement with the filters. It wasn't as dramatic
>as when I put the pipe on, but it was worth it. After all this is the same
>price as a new stock replacement element.
>
>The jets I currently have: 150 front, 145 rear, shims-.03", stock slow jets
>(#42), pilot settings-1 turn out from max idle. I used a length (about 3
>feet) of 5/8" ID x 1/8" wall clear vinyl (Tygon) tubing to route the
>breather down and out with the cluster of other tubes by the side stand.
>
>Power with these is good, but I may mess around some more. I have one step
>hotter plugs (DPR_7_EA-9), and I don't seem to be getting any preignition on
>a steady diet of Exxon 87. I just did this this past week, so I'll send out
>another post in a while if it stays ok.
