"It appears that this Briggs and Stratton filter will kind of fit."
Genuine Buddy scooter riders have been using the Briggs filters, too.

i put on the k and n filter, its a bit smaller then the original, but the seal still makes plenty of contact, its clamped down nice by the retainer.
having a bit smaller filter surface bothered me until i fired the bike up.. i had to check that the tube was on the carb as it sounds like there is no filter at all. i added a bead of lithium greese to the rubber seal to make sure it seals a bit better. there was plenty of dust inside the airbox telling me the original dont seal for shit. bike sounds alot more throaty as i would expect, seems to flow more than enough air for the bike. i also rejetted to 110 main and the bike has woken up, revs right out to the limiter and feels soo much better. best part, i can wash it out and reuse it for a long time. didnt take any pictures but there isnt mufh to see, no modification, just pull out the old, clean up the air box if its dirty, lube up the seal on the new and bolt it in. main jet has made the biggest difference in performance yet. I will take some pics of the chain tensioner I made, best mod Ive done on the hawk, my chain never falls off, or rubs the tire, it stays exactly where it belongs. |

Terrific news that the K&N fits the Hawk (and likely the TT250). Good decision to grease the perimeter of the seal to keep dust out.
Was the K&N pre-lubed from the factory?

the k&n is an oilless filter, just wash it out and reuse it. the one i got for my car is the same way no oiling. ive had that for 3 years now and its still like new.
greasing the seal should help with the dust getting past and into the box. it was fine dust , none would be better. the paper filter was a concern for me as it will get wet, just a matter of time, and having the filter suck into the box and such would be a bitch.

I just ordered one from Ebay. 26.99 free shipping and no tax. In case you live in free places like NH there is this little extortion fee we pay in ct to the tune of 6.35. Oh yeah maybe I explain to you this concept of income tax too in another thread.

I accept that; it's the nicest way anybody has ever called me a dumbass. I'll try harder to have a good command of the obvious.

43mm UNI Pod filters work on our VM26
Something similar to these below https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006RJY67G Or anything with a 43mm inner diameter is what you will need
