I have just completed installation of the Freak Kit. Overall, I was quite impressed with the ease of working through the airbox removal and freak install.

I seem to remember stories about people losing their Filters so I've been searching the archives. Unfortunately, I can't find the references to challenges people were having with the K&Ns staying put. I didn't feel very comfortable with the way the right side filter was going on...it either didn't get very tight (hose clamp) or when I tried to tighten too much, the clamp would seem to make the whole thing slip off.

I took the bike out for a ride to see how it ran. Although I was only out for an hour or so, I noticed that the right side filter had come loose. I had used a small cable tie just in case and I'm glad I did.

Finally to the question....

Have others had problems securing these filters to the carbs? Any pointers to either other posts or information that might provide some insight? Any suggestions overall?

Thanks,

Steven
