Ugh, here's what that filter is: http://www.knfilters.com/search/prod...x?prod=SU-7592 The thicker donut in the picture is the piece that's laying inside the filter. Looks like it *should* indeed fit the opening on that plate. Funny thing is it managed to fall in apparently, yet is so tight a fit I can't pull it back out or even get it back in the opening.
The other really funny thing is that the bike runs great (at least once it's warm, it's overly rich until warmed up). I'm not experiencing any of the issues reported by other K&N users. I did get ahold of one previous owner (the second owner, I'm the fourth) and he said he did not change anything on the airbox, but did rebuild the carbs and adjust them to "get it running". I've not yet heard back from the 3rd owner, but I know him really well and he's not the kind of guy to modify anything. So, I suspect it's been this way from all the way back with the first owner... I'm guessing that first guy probably modified it, it then ran like crap so he sold it, and the second guy worked around it...
