Just like the topic says. I've got a 76 MT125 that I bought when I was 16. Its been sitting for 8 years now. And before that it sat for probably another 4 years . I decided to get it running again over the weekend. That brings back some memories. Pretty neat bike but it kind of sucks. lol. The power and suspension are definitely lacking. Anyway I need an air filter for it and from what I can tell no one makes one anymore! I was going to try to make one out of UNI universal filter sheets and just glue the rubber top and bottom from the old filters onto the filter sheet but unfortunately when I got it running again 8 years ago I threw it away. I would think someone out there had to specialize in these things but I can't find anything. I guess I could make the filter with the universal filter material and try to also make the rubber ends out of something else. That or I guess theres always removing the box and going with a clamp on filter. I'd really like to just find the correct filter though. Anyone?

How about this:

2/3rds of the way down the page, right hand row. Otherwise they have several different filters for vintage Hondas, maybe they can hook you up with a reasonable replacement? You may end up just having to go with the clamp on and re-jetting

Well you sure made that look easy! I searched and searched but never came across that one. I haven't seen the filter in 8 years, I thought it had rubber gaskets made onto each end but maybe not. I will give that a try! Thanks.
