anyone had their air filter out, or seen one?
Is it a panel filter i.e rectangular and quite thin, or a chunkier affair?
Ive seen some advertised but I'm pretty sure the 1200 uses panel filters

This is a pic of the K&N replacemt one. I fitted mine ages ago. The standard one is the same shape but about 3 inches deep - hope that helps.

Hard to beleive! It only takes 5 minutes to get the old one out. The rectangular shaped one fits in a very rectangular hole thats for sure!

Sounds interesting.
Are they meant to be better/cheaper than K&N ones?
