    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.

Thank you,Do you have any suggestions of where to start if the bike has wide open exhaust and pod filters.How many sizes up would you begin at?

I think that's a tough question. My bike is all stock and I think getting it just right after modifying air intake/output is usually pretty tricky. If you do a search, you may get some good clues or, if you're lucky, maybe someone with the same bike (or a very similar one) may be able to give you some good advice. Good luck!:-D
 
I have an 82 850L with an opened up air box and a V&H 4 into 1. I have 136.5 mains and Dynojet needles 1 clip position from the richest. Maybe try shimming if you have stock needles- about .04 to .06". Got stock pilots but could probly use 1 size richer.
Your pods may flow a little more than my airbox (if they are K&N).
This will give you a good starting point.
Good Luck!
