Default Need a cone type air filter unless anyone has any other ideas or recomendations

New suspension fitted just working out where I want the canisters then hopefully get an alignment done next week. When I've spoken to my mechanic he has pointed something out that I hadn't given any thought to. Name:  Screenshot_2016-03-21-13-54-10_zpskwewddkn.png

This adjuster is totally hidden when the airbox is fitted so really I need a cone filter to gain access, are there any worth having that have a 90degree elbow to give me even more room? Thanks in advance, Jim.

how much do you really anticipate messing with the suspension settings?

This is only a temporary solution, but...

Could always pull your filter cover off, duct tape the filter onto the housing, set up your suspension, then remove the tape and put the cover back on. Just a thought. Not sure how much clearance you need.

I have double adjust dampers clubsports, KW makes an adjustment extender (basically a cable with a ****) those look like Motons? so not sure options. I also have that cone filter listed above. I guess it works OK. sounds cool. Gives me a lot more room to reach back there.

And yeah, I fiddle with the settings usually only 1-2 clicks up or down depending on track / street.

You could also simply buy an adapter and use what ever filter / pipe bend combo you want.

You make a good point and I'm sure I'll find a setting for the track and one for street and then stick to it. It's just gonna be a real pain until I get those settings sorted. Have you tried getting the lower clip done up on the back of the standard airbox! PITA!

I put a Uni type filter on my car, it does require removing and cleaning+oiling after every few months depending on the area. I live in a rural area with a dirt road so I clean it more often. But Uni is big in the Quad/Dirt bike scene. $20-30

That's really not a bad idea! At least I can have some fun fiddling at the track without messing about with the airbox cover. Thanks for that.

Don't they sell remote adjusters that would tread into the top of the damper and then you can snake it to somewhere w/ more access?

Spyerx suggested the same and I forgot to ask them when I phoned earlier about what pressure to pump the canisters back up to. Fingers crossed as this would be ideal!

Do you know if the extender fits the V3? Any idea who sells them? Thanks!
