  I have K & Ns on my HS6s and the only problem is that thr filters can foul the inner wing when the bonnet is lowerd but this is easily over come when lowering just by easing the bonnet across slightly as you lowwer.When lowered there is no problem. They soud great Mick

      Me neither, but I don't have inner arches! Ally ones coming soon.
      
      Do you have a longer than standard manifold Mick?

  You may need to change metering needles as well. You certainly do when fitting K&N's to Spitfires. Strombergs are OK as they have INTERNAL venting of float chambers, but SU's are external, at least on that age of SU design.
  Some folks suggest that lack of cold air supply to filters is a disadvantage, and some dislike the extra air intake noise, but the better air flow and ability to clean and re-oil these filters (meaning you never need to buy replacement elements again!) makes them worth doing in my book.

    i have a standard manifold with triumph tune adaptors for the hs6s it is marginal and may be due to the fuel pipe which runs across the front of the filters.
