Buddy got a new to him bike and we pulled a filter and too a look.
Interesting and impressive construction, the ADBV was wafer thin and the top of the element had a spring loaded plate. I didn't capture this plate well, but still have the can if anyones interested.
Seam appeared sewed and well executed. Nice thick can and baseplate.
The media appears to be paper/glass and the wavy construction is executed well and the media is solid but then it only had about 3500 miles on the filter.
The core has holes not louvers.
The unit had a very robust spring loaded bypass on top.
On a separate note he was talking smack about blowing me into the weeds on my 2 decade old " old man" stallion.
No doubt I couldn't keep up with him in the twisties, nor do I really even try hard anymore.
When the road open up to high speed long uphill sweepers this whippper snapper got schooled.
Despite having nearly the same HP on paper and him with a bunch of upgrades like an annoying loud pipe and electronic whiz bangery, the Italian laser guided, plasma cooled, vertically loaded, techno tour deforce got its rear end handed to it by this old school analog carbureted, air cooled, slide rule designed, bone stock Suzuki - and not just a little bit either - convincingly. The ride was huge fun.
