Don't get caught doing this. Depending on your domestic circumstances, getting caught could have mild to serious repercussions.Fred Hill, S'toon

Bought the kit
I bought the K & N Air Filter Recharge kit, followed the directions. Just a little hint, after you've spent an hour of your life cleaning, use a heat gun to soften the edges of the filter to get it back on properly. Found that out 30 minuets into trying to put it back together, 29 minuets later than I should have.

That's funny,I think it took me 5 to figure it wasn't going back on. I sat mine out in a 120 degree greenhouse for an hour. Popped right on. You were still 35 min. ahead of me.79 XS11 Special (Lazarus)
