The BMC Air Filter FM490/08 motorcycle air filter is designed for the Honda Hornet, model year 2007 and later. The filter media consists of cotton gauze impregnated with low-viscosity oil, while the frame is made using the Full Molding method from soft rubber, as a single piece with no welded joints at the corners.
The cotton gauze allows greater airflow than original paper filters. The frame includes woven alloys with an epoxy coating to protect against petrol vapours and oxidation caused by moisture.
