Removing an Air Maze filter

Thanks

They provide WAY more air than needed. I sold Vermin which had a VINTAGE, hang down wire mesh filter. The re-pro SMALL paper element is TOO small & makes one run WAY TOO RICH. It's a JOKE & VERY apt to cause a FIRE! They make a LONGER element & a LONGER rod for it, that's a SEMI-JOKE & still prone to FIRES!
Just use the HIGH MOUNT filter with a K&N filter element & be done with it. I'm TIRED of preaching this!
I'd give you a DISGUSTED Smiley Face, but they don't work anymore?????

Sorry Bill, I didn't mean to press your freaky button. I'm new in this hobby and trying to do it right the first time. K&N high boy will be on my motor. Thank you for your dedication to this forum, your experience helps us young and dumb.
