Air Filter for Kawasaki VN2000 Vulcan
Air Filter for Kawasaki VN2000 Vulcan
The Kawasaki Vulcan is one of the most popular motorcycles in the cruiser market.  With its massive 2053cc V-twin engine and 5 speed overdrive gearbox, the Vulcan produces instant excitement with every twist of the throttle.  The rumble of the exhaust is strong and noticeable as the Vulcan glides down the road.

K&N has introduced a new lifetime air filter for 2004-2010 Kawasaki VN2000 Vulcan motorcycles.  Part number KA-2008 replaces the OEM air filter inside the Vulcan’s chrome filter housing.  The KA-2008 features K&N’s high-flow motorcycle filter technology, which allows the Vulcan’s big V-twin engine to breathe all the air it needs with little restriction.  K&N’s oiled cotton filter media allows the perfect balance of airflow and filtration efficiency.  When the filter becomes dirty, the KA-2008 is also washable and reusable, and can be cleaned with K&N motorcycle air filter cleaning products then reinstalled (instructions).  The KA-2008 is backed by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty.

The K&N Engineering sponsored racer earned best-in-class honors. Kvapil  also drove the fastest in the K&N Filters No. 28 during time trials at Daytona. “I was on the edge of my seat when Travis beat out nine other Fords and qualified with the fastest Ford at Daytona,” said Charles Maier, sports marketing director of K&N Engineering. “The memories of something very good happening from last year’s Daytona Truck race and our new campaign in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series are coming back.”

K&N was the primary sponsor of Kvapil’s No. 6 Ford in the 2007 NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series. In that series, Kvapil had four wins and secured 12 top-ten finishes. “We believe that there is a special chemistry with K&N and Travis,” said Maier. “When you look good you typically feel good and consequently perform well. The car looks great and he makes it look so easy.”

The season opener for Kvapil will be the 50th running of the Daytona 500 on February 17, 2008. “K&N is starting its second season with Travis,” said Maier. “Here we are one year later as Travis begins the 2008 Cup season with Yates Racing. We will remain on the edge of our seats here at K&N while Travis begins the Twins on Thursday in the top 10.”

K&N Releases New Cone Shaped Universal Air Filter with 2.5 Inch Flange Diameter

K&N Universal Air Filter RU-5174
K&N Universal Air Filter RU-5174
K&N Engineering designs and manufactures a wide variety of universal air filters for many different uses. Regardless of the shape or size, K&N probably has a universal air filter for your specific equipment needs.

K&N has released a new round tapered universal (cone) air filter, part number RU-5174. It was constructed with an ultra-strong pliable rubber flange which absorbs vibration and allows for secure attachment. K&N universal air filter flanges can stretch for up to 1/16 inch (1.5mm) to fit in-between sizes.

The RU-5174 is 5 in. (127 mm) in length with an outside base diameter of 6 inches (152 mm) and a rubber top that has an outside diameter of 5 in. (127 mm). The inside diameter of the flange is rather small at only 2.5 in. (64 mm). The flange length is 2 inches (51 mm) which allows plenty of room to clamp around many engine intakes. This universal air filter may be used for any application meeting these measurement requirements.

Because of its small flange diameter, the RU-5174 is ideal for smaller engines such as import cars with smaller intake tubes.

K&N Universal Air Filters are great for extended use in dirty and dusty conditions. The RU-5174, like all K&N Universal Filters, is a washable and reusable filter. It is designed to offer low restriction while providing excellent motor protection.

Despite the snow that stacked up outside the Prairie Capitol Center in Springfield, Illinois Monster Jam once again packed the house to full capacity. The crowd went crazy as Black Stallion, Iron Warrior, Full Boar, Bad Habit and Scarlet Bandit gave them all the action they wanted.

The Monster wheelie competition was one of the biggest battles all weekend. Mike Vaters started the action with the Black Stallion. Iron Warrior driven by Trey Myers stood on its end and almost dragged the tailgates across the crushed cars, but Black Stallion took the ultimate win. Vaters (aka The Godfather of Thunder Nationals) also swept the wheelie competitions each day.

Vaters' competitive edge came out full boar in the main as he went head-to-head with Dawn Creten driving Scarlet Bandit. All the monsters were fighting for a spot in the finals and the racing was neck and neck. In the end Scarlet Bandit put up a fight for the win but Black Stallion edged her out by a fraction every round to sweep all three mains.

In the Monster Jam Donut Competition Scarlet Bandit and Black Stallion tied until Vaters cranked it up and flew. Black Stallion took the win in the next two donut rounds. The fight continued between the two monsters in the Monster Freestyle Competition. “It got hot quick as Scarlet Bandit came out and cranked it up so much that she ended up laying the monster on its side,” said Vaters. “I was not going to be outdone and my Black Stallion completed destroyed the course with every variation possible in freestyle.”

Black Stallion jumped the van stack forward, backwards and sideways for the win in the final freestyle round. Black Stallion is equipped with K&N Engineering injector and oil filters. “I use K&N because it protects my expensive engines,” said Vaters. “K&N is tough enough to handle the Monster Truck scene.”

Vaters and his team head next to Winnipeg, Canada to rock the Monster Jam world again.
