Spokey, when will you be back? I was thinking of doing a trip to Swartberg and Prince Alfred's Pass and environs and thought perhaps a catchup may be possible. 

Out of interest, we may have a project out in PA later in the new year ... already been looking at the ride options to the town

EDIT: Scratch that ... Prince Albert, not Alfred

Hairy, from what I've seen you could probably ride over Swartberg pass to Prince Albert on your bike if the road is in decent nick. Maybe worth considering.

Hey, if some vertically challenged Aussie can ride his HD off road, surely I can too

That would be awesome but I am only home end of Feb next year now. I have 5 days at Christmas but have family down from Josie.

Yo yo yo .... how do spot if my air filter is a washable filter?

[sawystertrance]

For starters it would be foam and not paper but other than that I pass. I'm no expert on that.

Negative. I have seen "fiber like" washable air filters for Harleys.

So I am not trying to say that a HD is a tractor, but...........https://www.muttonpower.com/product/2832/john-deere-air-filter-m47494

So you looked at Hairy's photo and went straight off to look for tractor air filters? Classic. Hahaha

DNA filter for my KLR looks like this make up, just oval conical if get my meaning. The kit comes with a special cleaning fluid but I just use Clean Green though I rinse it well. I do use the DNA filter oil though. My KTM 690 has a TwinAir foam unit, washed the same way but I use Motorex Spray oil on that.

Nah, my air filter does not look like that one ... only the posers on the Harley's use that type.

Just bought a new filter now on the way home from site, the fabric is a "fibrous" type material, but is a "dry" filter unlike the K&N types.

R493.90 for a new filter, not sure if this is expensive compared to other brands, of a fair price. Does not really matter to me, my bike will be happy I am treating her well.
