Hi All
Are there any options out there to fit air filters on an Atlas that has two Amal 930 Concentrics other than the stock triangular cage? Not a lot of room as you know. Thanks
 
These work with it upside down.

Thanks Horton,
I’m curious about several things.
1. Is that the K&N with two holes and 2” filter depth? If so how thick is your carb spacer? I have this filter but it won’t fit. My spacer is 1”. I guess it might fit if I mounted it first then bolted up the oil tank and then the battery box

2. I see that you have a 2LS front brake. I have one fitted as well. Did any Atlas come stock with one or did all Atlas’s come with a single

Thanks

You would need to use the 1/2" spacer and turn the filter upside down, as possm said I also think the first bike that had the 2LS was the Commando.

Do you not like the original style or maybe can't find a good one? I have one that I'm not gonna fit, keeping my single Mikuni setup.
 
Yes it's the 2" one, I don't think it will fit with the 1" spacers. It Just touches with the 1/2" maybe you could trim it down a little??
 
Colorado Norton works sells a low profile K&N type filter for the CNW Estart kitted Commandos. K&N used to sell a low profile one but discontinued it so Matt Rambo did lots of research and found a supplier.

I bought one from CNW and I had one purchased previously from K&N so I have one on my Commando and I also have one on my Atlas which I fitted with 930 Amals. I just looked on CNW's site and didn't find it but you could send Matt an email.
 
Thanks all

I assume that in order to have the CNW supplied filter, that you also have installed a 1/2” manifold?
 
This bike came in boxes so I never rode it before, but it seems to go great. It has new pistons, rods, cam and 30mm Amals, I could get longer manifolds but I would have to ditch the stock oil tank and battery box.
