Hey guys! Long time no see.
1987 Spree - Stock.
I really dislike the design of the stock airbox/filter. I have gone through 2 which have either warped, rubbed, or snapped. I took a hack saw to one and removed everything except the box and tube so that the box itself was free floating using only the tube as support. Sadly the tube rips and cannot maintain the weight.
I have seen several mods in which a K&N pod filter is used, but upjetting seems to be required for this and I have no wish to tune this moped. Taping the filter itself seems like a good option to prevent leaning out. Does anyone have a specific measurement for the amount filter that should be left free of tape? My intent is to give the motor approx. the same amount of air that the stock airbox would provide.
-Thanks

You could use swimmingfrees pop bottle cap in the filter rubber or air hose with two 3/16 holes in I think there are. I find it ha d to rely on electrical tape when oil and has are involved. That stuff just melts the adhesive and the tape unravels. It will work just fine but I find it hard on my brain where its out of sight and out if mind.
