    That's because K&N filters let so much of the dirt through!

    I bought one of those inspection cameras a few years ago and keep finding new uses for it. I check brake pads and do other inspections without having to crawl under the vehicle. I'm definitely going to have a look at my air filter.

    You can get a good, cheap remote inspection camera from Harbor Freight as well.

    That's a high tech looking item for sure.

    I was an automotive technician for many years, and I had bought a ProVision 100. Maybe this could work.

    My rigid has a 3 ft length and then another 3 ft extension for a total of 6 ft. Mine is bigger.

    Dave, I take exception to your post about the K&N filter...Data from many sources do not support your statement..Maybe an opinion on your part, but not accurate...Those of us, including myself, that have used these filters for years without any problems I am aware of, also might disagree with you....As for me, I will continue to use K&N in all my vehicles as I have done for thousands of miles and many, many years....Ride safe

    Kind of sensed that it was a joke Opas....

    But anyway.... who in the hell is going to spend extra money into installing (and subsequent cleaning)of a washable, cleanable air filter in a F6B's innards when cheaper paper filter elements are proven to do a better job at filtering?

    K&N's are cool when you can SEE them. Not so cool when they're buried. I only use K&N's for the aesthetic factor.
