This is for a friend...
Has a new VM36 on his 850 Mk3 that has an air filter that is ridiculously small - smaller than the each of those I have on my FCR35s (it came in a kit from the Australian Mikuni agent)![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png)

All the older threads on air filter selection appear to be at least 7 years old so - what is the best & biggest air filter that will fit on a Mikuni VM36?
I did a scan through the K&N website and see the following as possiblilities.
The VM36 has a 62mm spigot at the rear of the carb and if we take filter dimensions as A = front height (as mounted), B = Width and C = length (front of element to rear).
Smallest - RU-2780 A=114mm, B=95mm, C=70mm
RU-3780 A=114mm, B=95mm, C=89mm
RE-0961 A=114mm, B=95mm, C=102mm
RE-0960 A=114mm, B=95mm, C=152mm
RC-3680 A=114mm, B=95mm, C=152mm
Any better that these? Obviously the biggest that will fit will be best. The last two appear to be tight but may fit with a bit of "fettling".
What do you have fitted?
Cheers
Rob
