One-Mik Wonder
Guys, after the ABS plastic runner on my one-carb experimental intake broke, I'm having to figure something out that sits a little more inboard and is not bumped by my left leg when I kick (I straddle the bike and kick with my right leg). I'm working in a tight space, behind a modified left side cover, so my options at the moment are either a cone filter, or a short stack with perhaps some sort of flame retardant micro-foam or something. Cosmetically, the latter would be my preference, but I'm waiting on a cone from Mike's to experiment with.
Now, here's the dumb question:
The element in the cone is that god-awful red. Hate that. Black would be better. So, assuming that the cone will fit the space okay, can the element be safely dyed, with perhaps spray fabric dye? The cone will be exposed prominently, and that red will look heinous on my bike.
Thoughts welcome on this, as well as on ideas to get a short stack to filter for road use; I really like the look of a stack but also want to achieve safe filtering.
Thanks -
