I put a little automobile breather filter on mine and vent it to the atmosphere. It still needs to breathe.

On my bike's with pods, I simply run the breather down with the battery overflow tube to the rear of the engine exiting in front of the swing-arm.
It works like a draft tube and never leaves any oil drops.

The main thing is to let it breathe. If you don't mind providing the opportunity for bugs to crawl up the tube into your engine, then no, you do not need a filter. Mine is there to prevent stuff from entering the engine.
Dealer's choice.

No, none of mine have filters on them.
For some reason, I don't think that bugs like the taste/smell of hydrocarbons/used oil.

i learn something new everyday 
emgo filters are trash and will not work on GS vacuum carbs...period.
GS vacuum carbs CAN NOT be tuned properly without a st. 3 jet kit and good quality filters.
if a person is not willing to buy the above mentioned parts then leave the air box on your bike.:clap:

You can use one of the many tiny cone filters they sell at your local auto parts stores.

Hi, just to add my experiecne with pod filters. Yes you should put a pipe with a filter onto the stub coming out of the rocker cover, or even just have it go into a soft drinks(I think you guys call them soda)can.As for the jetting depending on how much you are willing to mess about-and your closeness to a dyno, go with say 135 main jets to start with then work down in steps of 2 until you get the plugs a nice light tan colour(I did this with my GS1000/GSX1100 hybrid, started with 145's and finished up with 117.5).This is not as expensive as it sounds if you make the arrangement with your supplier that you can return the jets in "saleable condition"ie. unmarked-the easy way to do this is get a screwdriver that is a slightly loose fit and dip it into the solution for sticking patches to bicycle tubes this gives a rubber like coating to the screwdriver and won't mark or damage the soft brass of the jet.Hope you can make sense of this rambling and GOOD LUCK-Johnny
