Need air filters for a 63' CB77 I just picked up. Do I go stock or get K&N or uni pods? Where's the best place to get parts at the best price?

I got mine on eBay, from Asia, last year -- $50 plus shipping. Where are you? I mean, which country? I think David Silver Spares in UK has them; Retrobikes -- http://www.olypen.com/retro/ -- in US definitely have them

As far as K&Ns are concerned, it's a matter of personal pref as to whether you want your machine stock or custom. Please don't run with none at all; that shortens the life of the motor and the carbs more than you'd think!

Retro Bikes has good prices and great service. If your a do-it-yourselfer, and you have the old filters, you can rebuild them:

The rubber air tubes that lead to the filters can also be an expensive item. To get you up and running with filters, you can use a piece of radiator hose. I just went to the auto area at Farm and Fleet and found one the right diameter that had a slight bend close to the original. I cut this part out to make the air boot.
