[Ducati] 998 air filters

[Rich Roberts]

Ha, I had forgotten about him, I used a set of the old blue ones years ago. I think the BMC kinda like K & N filter material is best, just slide em out of the holder and clean if needed. Those ones by Peter are decidedly low tech, though they work fine and though I did a really neat job supergluing in plastic mounting screws aka studs, still fiddling with that was a  pain. The BMC stuff though is quite a bit more money but very well done I thought. Rich

Looks like Peter Martin has redesigned his filters for the old style
hypersport bikes. Take a peek!
I used and enjoyed the performace that his filters offered to my 996.
