I disagree. Oiled Cotton works just fine. Bakaracer is selling some Kovered Kosos all the Kool Kids use. If you switch from one to the other, the carb may require re-jetting is all.
The only advantage to the UNI is that it's cheap and perhaps a bit lighter, so it doesn't stress the carb mount as much over bumps.

The one I got with my carb kit was built very poor. This just might be the one from autotech ? but I wouldn't use it on my bike

I have had no problems with those filters with under 80cc setups.

But 82cc and up just would not run right, no matter what my jetting was.

Mine literally fell apart. Maybe I got a lemon

That's not too bad. What color did you decide on?

I'm going with white

I figure, the crank cover white, the shock white, all the unpainted trim will be OEM refresh sprayed black then the body work will be white

I want this thing to look factory as possible... other than the giant pipe ... and sounding like 10,000 weedwackers flying down the street

sent out crank cover + rear met wheel to get powder coated today

I'll keep you guys posted how it turns out

I have yet to find a shop that doesn't blast them before paint. It is part of proper prep. Does anyone sand rims anymore?

No commercial shop that's for sure, to time consuming.

No, but I've "salted" a few lately

so here is a good question

I bolted up the stock plastic shroud that covers the jug/head for air flow

since the bbk... is so... big, the shroud is touching the head

is the shroud going to melt? is this bad?
