I choose the wrong time of year to do this mod considering that these bikes hate hot weather. When Bertha sits in the sun she is hard starting I am about to play with the air mixture screw and see what I can get

K&N RD-0610 is the filter I used. I recomemend getting about a 2 inch (50.8 mm) long 2.25 inch (57.15 mm) in diameter piece of exhaust pipe to connect the filter to the stock intake tube, it will provide a secure fit. I had to post the pictures to my facebook page I will provide the link for the pictures. I had to adjust my air/fuel mix slightly to get the correct plug color. There are some othe hose you will have to reroute. like the transmission vent hose and the crankcase vent hose. The transmission hose I went straight up with it and zip tied it to the frame. The crankcase vent I put a filter in that line as well to try and keep my scoot running as clean as possible. No fuel mileage yet though I will provide it for you later. Amason.com is where I purchased the K&N as for it was the cheapest site I found.

I think the no change in fuel milage is perhaps a good thing, given that you have got an increase in power. That sounds great.
