Hey Tom,
Been doing some research on filters. Your part number was close but I
came up with RB-0910 which is 5 inches high, and an RB-0900 which is 4
inches in height. Do you think the 4 inch high one would work better,
i.e., less contact with cowl and starter?
I also found some cone shapes which are about 5 inches high but have 3
1/2 inch diameter top, perhaps that would work, what do you think?
I wish my cowl was off so I could take some measurements. I just put it
back on Sunday after the annual inspection.

I had a similar set up on my second Harmon. I used a
conical K&N filter that had a bit of an offset in the attach flange.
Part # RB 091. It did touch the starter and I put a big gob of RTV at
the point of contact. It also tended to touch the cowling but never
seemed to cause and damage. I do not see any reason why you could not
squeeze a bit to get more clearance. It is a nice simple system.

HR guys,
As per John Harmon's recommendation, I have been using a UNI filter
UP-6300 ast motorcycle filter. Not only do I not like the looks of the
thing but it lays on the inside of the cowl and has to deform a bit to
do that, it also is wearing where the cuff slides over the Y-valve. I
am using John's intake Y valve and the angle of the filter side may not
be quite right. Has anyone had this problem and or have a solution?
Perhaps going to a K&N filter will do it, any model numbers would help
my search for a solution.
Thanks,
Jim Stone

Smokey,
If you happen to have that K&N model number, you might save me from
ordering the wrong one.
Thanks,
Jim
