Can anyone tell me the type of air filters some have used rather than purchasing Viscosity Stacks.

I think you are confused. Those stacks are just for looks. Most people are running OEM. Some of us have switched to K&N. Those are the only two choices I know about.

Jeff, I knew they were just for looks. I wanted to know what they were so when I go to Auto Zone or Ebay I know what to ask for.

Those stacks are just cosmetic.... their only purpose is to collect rain water.

Can anyone tell me the type of air filters some have used rather than purchasing Viscosity Stacks.  I haven't used them. But many here have said they got them at O'Reillys or Autozone. I'm not exactly sure how they mounted them. I think I remember them saying they used silicone glue.

Breather Filters  Thank you! I knew it was something simple, I just couldn't remember what they were called.

The reason is probably similar to the reason someone would add other decorations to their vehicle.

They were on my valk when I acquired, along with a small, motorcycle sized, set of truck nuts and horns mounted to front fender guard. I got rid of the horns right away, but did not see the nuts for a while, then they were gone. I removed the bling air filters after about a year. They were held on with 3m VHB tape. Working in a sign shop, I new how to remove.

Fazer, you said you had yours for about a year, how did they hold up after riding in foul weather? Did they still look good when you removed them? Inquiring minds want to know.

Gideon--The paper was a little faded, but they still looked like what they are, glitzy doodads with no reason for being there. But if it's your thing, go for it.
