No More OEM Air Filters?

(1/3) > >>

k7map:
So, I just got this 2006 B&W 250 off of Craigslist. Took a weekend to look everything over. Seems like the only part on it that is in need of a replacement is the air filter.

After several days of looking on-line for a stock air filter, it appears that there are no more NOS,  OEM air filters for this model?
 
(Yes, there was a place out of Taiwan selling them for $25+$22 shipping, Grrrr)

Does anyone know of an on line store in the US that still has stock?
Or, do I need to convert it over to some universal cone/cylinder air filter and re-jet the carb?

Thanks all

Stig / Major Tom:
Yeah, I'm not seeing any either.
Never wanted to myself - but might be time to remove it and replace the filtering element in the stock plate with some filtering foam, or waffled/corrugated panel cut from another source. ?
Get it close, hopefully no dances with carb necessary?

CROSSBOLT:
Yes, make your own like Stig said. Use that green foam available at Cycle Gear and most ATV stores. Bet it's online, too!

You mean take out the plastic molded OEM air filter  and literally just place a piece of cycle gear motorcycle foam across where the plastic and corrugated paper filter was and close the box up?

CROSSBOLT:
Not quite. Cleanly cut out paper filter and discard. Fix open mesh screen to original plastic on the carb/throttle body side, cut green foam to fit in hole snugly and then devise a way to hold in that hole. I used picture frame hanging wire.
