So get this:
I drove to work one day, everything was fine and dandy. I park my bike and see that I am missing my left Air Filter. Awesome. It separated between the rubber H-Pipe insert and the metal collar that grips into it. Called my wife, asked her to retrace my route. Thank Valhalla she actually found it. Duct-taped it on, rode home, siliconed it on - Job Done.
Yesterday I went for another ride. Got home, missing my RIGHT Air Filter... Here in lies the wtf. This time the filter fell apart between metal collar and filter material.
What the heck? They are the Pods from MikesXS that the PO had installed. The right filter had Electrical tape around the OD of the pod. What the?
I am frustrated because I need to ride this weekend for work but I won't be able to get any filters in time... And I assume that it isn't keen to ride without a filter.
What would cause the filters to fall apart and come off?
