    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Carbs/Pod Filters - Worth it?

My bike currently has a single air filter, but without the stock airbox. It is a very cheap filter, and has been bugging me. While surfing ebay I found this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...RK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=140122917056&rd=1,1
Since these are only a few miles from me, I was thinking about buying them and putting the pods on my current setup, and then rebuilding the carbs for use later. My question is this, what other work will putting the pods on require? Will the carbs need to be rejetted? And if so, is that a hard process to complete? Will the gains be worth it? I will admit my ignorance on all carb related work, so any advice is appreciated! Thanks!!!
 
Yes, the filters are worth the work & money, & yes, you will have to rejet. If you buy the filters order a jet kit for your bike at the same time. When you get the jet kit take a couple of evenings to study the instructions before you try to install it. If you read carefully & take your time you can do it. The jet kit base settings will get you in the ballpark & will also explain how to fine tune after you install it. If you need help or have questions let me know & I'll be glad to help. I have been jetting bikes for over 25 years & have some experience at this. Good luck & don't be afraid to ask for help. Ray.
