Best pods for BS 34's and BS 38's

[rwingsfan]

I have been a bit confused. I would like to get some short (3") Uni filters for a set of bs 34's and 38's. I have been told that 2" would fit both even though one is 52mm and the other is 54mm. I am looking at this set of filters the PK-82 http://www.newportcycleparts.com/categories/engine_fuel/uni_air_filter.htm Will these work for both sets? Or the pk-92 for the BS 34's?

The PK-82s will fit the 38s perfectly and probably stretch onto the 34s but, personally, I would get the 92s for the 34s. My buddy has the smaller size on his 34s and they're a tight, tight fit. Personally, I use the 4" long normal pods, the UP4200s, on my 38s .....

Sorry to hijack your thread, but a quick ? for 5twins, I have the same filters as you on 36VMs, how do you clean them, and do you oil yours?

I follow the instructions given on the UNI Australia site. Here's a PDF with them you can download .....

Apparently, the black foam used in these is very fine so conventional foam filter oil is not recommended. It's too thick and can clog them. They recommend a 50-50 mix of gas and plain motor oil. I bought a cheap bottle of straight 30 wt. at Walmart and use that just for my UNIs.

Thanks, seems very easy to look after and a lot cheaper than the K N cleaners. I would've thought cleaning with gas would've been bad for the foam. Good enough for me!
