Im putting my 78 gs750 back together with the propper jets and quality parts. I was gonna order some k&n air pod filters but they are damn near $200 for 4.. Are their quality filters for less? Also does anyone know the size of airpods go on a 78 gs750? Its a vm carb. Or is there a way to measure? (Probably a stupid question).
 
APE makes good ones a lot cheaper. Just measure the outside diameter of the intake. Got a caliper?
 
You can get close enough with a ruler or tape measure calibrated in millimeters.
 
APEs

APEs

I just ordered the APEs for my '82 1100e online a few hours ago. It was $59 for four. I almost fell for the K&Ns for $160 - whew! A lot tougher to explain that to the Mrs.!

I'll ask, since no one else has....

You said "proper jets" - Proper jets for stock airbox & filter, or proper jets for pods?
 
So I measured my where the filters would go on my vm carb.. and I got 1 5/8 inches.. I converted it and its 41mm and some change.. on these websites for the ape air pods they only go up to 40mm.. will those work?? the last thing I want to do is order the wrong size and get stuck with some pods I can't use..
 
Your bike takes 42mm filters. I have the same bike. I never bought Apes cause they don't have a size for ours listed on their site. Parts N More has them, though.
 
Check out MikesXS.net for air pods

He's got some that are similar to K&N but without any logos. I think the APE air pods are circular and not oval despite their pictures. I remember a thread here somewhere warning people about that.

Ape 005-121

$59.95 plus $12 shipping to NYC. They came in four days. It takes about 30 seconds to install each one (clamps were included).

NOTE: If the clamps (standard automotive hose type) are over tightened, the filters will, within a few minutes spontaneously fall off. Counter-intuitive.

On my bike (1100EZ) they look best with the clamp bolts positioned on the bottom of the filters. And they do look great!

I'll report more when I've ridden, and jetted the bike.
