When I cleaned out the tank and filter she went like a missile. This post reminds me to carry one of those filter funnels you can buy when you pump fuel in the tank, especially riding remote areas , but at the same time I dont want the bike and me to stink of fuel when I store the funnel.
have you tried one of these?

That looks like a good option, similar (but finer) to what mowers (& a 1953 Landrover we once owned) have in them from new, most I have seen anyway.
As jamdonut says there is potential for this to create issues when filling.
Will be looking forward to a report on this item.
