Three weeks, more than two hundred man hours and a 28 hour non-stop drive from
Louisville, Kentucky to Las Vegas, Nevada all add up to a brand new K&N 2008
Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa on display for the first time at SEMA (Specialty
Equipment Market Association) 2007.

Hand Made See Thru Clutch Cover
Two brothers, Jeremy and Jason Cantwell of Derby City Customs, were given
the career opportunity of a lifetime after a K&N Engineering Manager saw their
custom Twin Turbo ZX10. “K&N wanted our custom ZX10 for its SEMA booth,” said
Jeremy Cantwell. “It was sold so I suggested K&N put its trust in Derby City
Customs. We said we’d do a bigger and better bike and my brother and I went to
work.”
Even though the Cantwell’s run a full service family business they started
custom designing the 2008 Suzuki. The end result was no sleep and a show stopper at
the SEMA K&N booth.
The 2008 Suzuki is equipped with:
Triple Trees: Custom 4 Degree Raked
Swingarm: Solid Billet Aluminum Single-sided Custom Friction Drive
Suspension: Custom Air Bag Rear Suspension
Front Wheel: RC Components Czar Eclipse – 21 x 3.5
Rear Wheel: RC Components Czar Eclipse – 20 x 10
Paint Work: Airbrush by Kent and Justin Hansford
Clutch Cover: Hand Made See Thru
Air Filter: K&N High-Flow Air Filter SU-1308 / SU-1308R
Oil Filter: K&N Performance Oil Filter

“The see through clutch cover is really cool,” said Cantwell. “It was my idea
and Jason made it. The whole concept was to add a more mechanical look to the
bike by seeing into the engine.”
Jason and Jeremy Cantwell build around eight choppers and sport bikes every year.
Their next project will be a Chopper for Harrah’s Riverboat Casino in Indiana.
“It will include K&N air and oil filters,” said Cantwell. “When we think of
filters we think of K&N and would not put anything else on our custom bikes.”
The Cantwell’s said the SEMA experience with K&N was great. For more

2008 Suzuki GSX1300R Hayabusa.

K&N Engineering has been designing, manufacturing, and enhancing High-Flow Air Filters for the automotive and motorcycle enthusiast since 1969. Each filter is design to increase horsepower and acceleration. K&N replacement motorcycle air filters are ideal for extended use in dirty and dusty conditions and provide clean carburetion even at high altitude. Our filters are washable, reusable and covered by the famous K&N Million Mile Limited Warranty®.
K&N introduces the E-3971 which allows virtually unrestricted airflow while providing excellent filtration. “The E-3971 is a replacement air filter that can fit select Indian motorcycle applications,” says Tom Brown, Project Manager at K&N Engineering. “It is 1/4” taller than the E-3226 so it has more filter media allowing additional flow capabilities.”
The E-3971 is a custom air filter 2.75 inches in height with an inside diameter of 4.625 inches and an outside diameter of 6”. This filter will fit any application meeting these requirements.
The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returned to action at Texas Motor Speedway
Friday with lots of drama. The No. 6 K&N Filters Ford F-150 was a top contender
heading into the race. Driver Travis Kvapil traveled to Texas from Las Vegas,
Nevada.
He signed autographs in Vegas for a long line of fans on his K&N hero cards at SEMA
(Specialty Equipment Marketing Association) 2007 in the K&N booth.

Travis Kvapil is third in overall point standings
At Texas, Kvapil was confident he could have win number five. Kvapil raced
up front at the start of the race, leading laps and chasing down the
competition. As the laps wore on a mechanical problem, fuel gamble and
a blown tire ultimately resulted in a 26th place finish for the Wisconsin native.

Mike Skinner took the pole position and led the 37 truck field at the start. The
inside line started to pull past the outside line but as the trucks rounded the
1.5 mile track for the first time the No. 6 K&N F-150 emerged in sixth. The
first of several cautions flew on lap two and Kvapil reported that the K&N
Filters F-150 had a lot of speed but was tight behind traffic.
Crew chief Mike Beam called for Kvapil to stay on track and put together a
strategy for the K&N Filters team’s first pit stop on lap 39. The K&N team
serviced Kvapil’s truck at a quick pace by changing four tires, re-fueling and
making a wedge adjustment to help the tightness. Kvapil went from fifth to first
for the re-start on lap 44.
On lap 66, Kvapil radioed that he might have a cylinder going down. He continued
to run in second but when the fourth caution flew on lap 69, Beam called for him
to come to pit road. Kvapil returned to the track in 20th place for the re-start on
lap 75. Kvapil took it up a notch and by lap 114 was 12th.
The No. 6 K&N Filters Ford continued to move towards the front of the pack
hitting third by lap 131. Kvapil was confident he saved fuel by running in the
draft. The K&N Filters team mulled over the decision of whether to go for the win, or play it safe
and pit to finish 10th or 11th. Beam left the
decision up to Kvapil who said he’d go for the win.
Two laps later Kvapil hit the wall as a right front tire went down. As Kvapil
rolled back to the garage the truck caught on fire causing a moment of panic.
Kvapil escaped unharmed but ultimately finished 26th.
“I knew it was on fire on pit road and I was looking for somebody,” said Kvapil.
“We had an awesome K&N Ford and we definitely were contending for the win, but
we had a bad chain of events. It was just a bad set of circumstances for us to
end up like this.”
Kvapil maintained third in the overall point standings but now sits 401 points
behind the leader. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series returns to action at
Phoenix International Raceway.

Situations change in racing with one dramatic event. The 8th round of the
Supermoto Championship at Galveston, Texas had one defining moment for factory
Aprilia Rip It Energy Fuel race team.

All eyes were on Darryl Atkins when he lost traction in the dirt before a
double jump. He was catapulted over the bars, breaking his left wrist in
multiple places and suffered a concussion.
Ben Carlson going for 2nd AMA Supermoto Championship
The accident affected the confidence of the team and Ben Carlson rode to a
conservative 6th place in the Unlimited Class. “After seeing what happened to
Darryl, I did not want to take any risks to jeopardize the championship,” said
Carlson. “I know I had the speed to win, but the championship is the most
important thing to me and the team.”
Carlson also took a 6th place finish on the 450 V Twin with lap times equivalent
to the podium finishers. Atkins flew home for surgery for his broken bones. He
wants the chance to compete this coming weekend at Palm Springs.
Carlson hopes to take his 2nd AMA Supermoto Championship title this weekend.

Toyota isn't leaving anything out in its smallest and least-expensive car. The 2007 to 2009 Toyota Yaris 1.8L engine is an aluminum alloy unit with dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, coil-on-plug direct ignition with electronic throttle control. It has 106 horsepower at 6000 rpm and an average of approx. 36 MPG. The 2007 to 2009 Toyota Yaris is a fun and economical car to drive.
K&N Engineering has developed a 57i Air Induction Kit, 57-0666, for the 2007 to 2009 Toyota Yaris, a car mostly found in the UK.
The manufacture's air box and the air path tubing creates restriction in the flow of air going to the engine. The 57-0666 is designed to free your car from much of this restriction. K&N’s performance air intake replaces the factory airbox and the entire air path to the engine so that a virtually unrestricted flow of air reaches the engine for added power and performance.
K&N’s Induction Kit 57-0666 is easy to assemble with simple hand tools usually in less than 90 minutes.
