Aussie,
How tall are you, even more what is your inseam (leg length). Hope you don't mind me asking. I was told that this filter would extend a little farther then what I have now, but since I'm tall (6'2/3 with a 34 inch inseam) that it shouldn't be a problem.
Also feel lucky that you got the Zippers Filter. After reading your post the other day saying they were in I made appointment to have my cams installed, and thought I should call Zippers to see if my stuff had shipped. When I spoke to them I was told that the filters were still on back order, [smiley=confused5.gif] and I opted to have my cams and other stuff shipped so I could have them for my appointment. I'm now either going to try Arleen Ness Big Sucker or either do like you are thinking and just go with the K&N filter just to get rid of the deteriorating SE element.
