    You can often find them in Autobarn, they have a cross reference for other brands that fit hf303.
    Or ask someone in Supercheap to order a K&N one, provided they aren't Idiots that is xD (I work for them, I should know)

    Funny you should be stopped outside a pub, Grey. Was a pretty hot day and a cooling lemonade would have helped you ride home. :lolsign:

    Nothing to my bikes but today I picked up Kiftas Jap Screamer ready for Morgan park on the weekend.
    Altered the thermostat and cleaned the housing. Drilled out broken bolt , tapped new thread and fixed bracket that secures thermostat. Found problem with starter motor. Then cleaned and polished my new little mate.

    Today I repaired the windscreen and broken piece of the nose fairing, used JB weld for the first time, washed the bike & fairings (did not attack the white wheels, the cleanliness won't last), and also rushed to get the cover on to protect the fresh JB weld from the rain.

    Tomorrow I go and register the bike. Of course, I don't have bolts holding the number plate on, only zipties. Do I have any spares? Of course not...

    Today I replaced fork oil in other fork (so it matches the one with new seals). Wet and dry vac, duct tape and a bit of small diameter PVC, oil came out pretty quickly. Replaced rear shock with another original (thanks @Moo), also installed new rear brake disk.

    If it makes you feel better, my ZXR has been dribbling coolant for ages now - no idea why but it's never caused a problem.

    I did relocate the hose so that it sprayed straight off the side of the bike and not onto the tyre.

    Funny thing is I used to be with Virgin. The plan I was on was retired, and they made it so that I had to call up to recharge instead of doing it online. That was the last straw because their service (vodafone network) was utterly crap. I ended up with Tel$tra. lol.

    Virgin uses the Optus network.
