    So, I know both manufacturers/re-sellers are members/contributors here, so I have to not base my decision on forum support/loyalty.

    Given that, I like them both. They both appear to be quality products, and are simmilarly priced. The 7602 comes with vent hose, which is a plus.

    So the question is, which is easier to clean/maintain?

    I have only used the 7602 one but like it very much and it comes with extra filters. EZ to change them. Nice product that WORKS.

    DANG! that was a quick response! :) Thanks!

    I'm going to place an order with them anyway for a couple other things... but personally, I was thinking the uptite one would be a little easier to clean. Of course I have no experience with either... so I look to the experts for experience. :)

    I use the Uptite version.........pretty simple clean-up, just unscrew the bottom, pull/clean filters and reinstall.

    I agree both will do the job, and if you ride in much dust, better than not having one.

    Both do the job of filtering air coming into the carb. I have a 7602 because I do not like the single, downward exit hose of the Uptite filter. Seems this could lead to stalling in long water crossings as happens with stock bikes before routing 2 of the 4 hoses upwards.

    I haven't had it happen yet, but you're right, it can.
    Hose on my is long enough, I can re-route up inside of frame rail if need be.

    Installed 7602 kit on my KTM and no issues. Filter is easy to change. Clay from 7602 is a great resource to work with.

    I ended up getting the uptite one from Bobby at BMWMCOA.

    I do agree, though, Clay at 7602 is a class act. I e-mailed back and forth with him about a dozen times. Great guy to deal with. I hope to get some other parts from him soon. :thumbsup:
