*LOL* BTDT. I almost stabbed myself with a screwdriver trying to re-mount
the metal tab that retains the cable leaving the lighting coil of my KTM.
If you get close, those little magnetic bastards become quite powerful.
Interestingly enough, those are made from plain ferromagnetic (iron oxide)
materials - no fancy NdFeB (neodymium/iron/boron) alloys from rocket
science. Probably because they're expensive and probably, they can't
withstand higher operational temperatures (see
http://www.supermagnete.de/eng/data_table.php for more info) that can be
found in a motorcycle's bottom end.

Perfect! Keep the paint on and it won't look that rotten as my KTM's rotor
did.

True. They also have some quite cool zero maintenance aluminum throttle
grips with teflon sleeve and bullet bearing(s).

I'm currently green with envy! Not for the job as such but for the time you
can invest. Currently, I'm leaving work no sooner than 8pm. *sigh*
> I believe I need more coffee. Or something...
8:08pm. Dinner is calling. Ummm. Well, if I manage to hunt it down (i. e.
find sth in the fridge or cellar). Delivery services suck when it comes to
eatable (=hot) food with -10°C outside temp and snowy roads.
Cheers,
Volker

The best filters I've found are from Moose:

What year? they make them for XR80R's back to '88

A+ on the customer service from the Maxima / ProFilter folks.
You can purchase with confidence.
Carry on.
