I have air pods but they are chicom and I think they leak. What is the best Air pod filter and size for the CV slide carbs on a 1980 GS550e? (That will actually fit?) Also if I adjust the valves will I have to replace the gaskets? Any leads on a good inexpensive sources? (I know right lol)

Stick with K&N or APE. (APE was half the price of K&N, just as good looking and performing.)1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red
2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after. -

I don't know what the model number is, but these are real dual throat K&N's.
Regarding jetting, either get air correction jets from Zed, or buy a Dynojet kit for the 1983 GS550M Katana.

Apparently whoever owned it before me rejected it seemingly correctly already. Non OEM stuff though. The new spark plugs are burning in the right color and it runs well for the few quarter mile tests I have run so far. (Other than the CHICOM filters cracking and leaking) Hard to tell what they jetted it with as the number system is screwy...says 47.5 I went ahead and purchased OEM 42.5 jets in case I need them. (Zed never replied) If I have issues I will reach out to Dyno jet.
I will order those exact filters Nessism. (If I can find them.)
You were right in earlier posts. Those knock off filters are garbage.Comment
