Unfortunately, another pod post

Also, FTW - this is what I purchased in February of 2023.
I was riding it in May 2023
Thank You

Most of mine started out like that and sometimes less :biggrin-new:
No unknown surprises from the previous owners efforts when you build from the ground up and you already know every inch if something does happen to cause trouble.
More than likely those three pods have much more surface area than the stock filter and you'd probably easily get away with just the two if you had to.
Sadly most folks round here are too inept to figure out there's only one induction event happening at a time and can't comprehend that you don't need the equivalent area of all four inlets when employing a shared air box.

That was nice of you to write this up. My 1975 had 4 rubber Velocity stacks built into the air box. When I converted that bike into a Kazio Yoshima Stage III 458cc racer, I used those velocity stacks without the air box. Why not, perfect fit. You've done what you've done, but I (and this is just my 2 cents worth of opinion) had made a foam box, dipped in oil (then wring out) filter block to fit into that opening and kept the velocity stacks, you would have had a better vacuum chamber for the carbs to take in the air. Essentially making the bike breathe better, and all the air coming from that inside of the foam box.

The problem with the kind of filters you have now is that if you don't oil them religiously, they will let in particulates and over the years, and will take a lot of life off of your rings. I have rebuilt many engines and is why I stopped using K&N filters, or any filter you have to lube. My stock '83 GS750ES recommends that you soak the foam filer in oil and wring all the oil out of it. That oil filters and it stays oily for many years. Neat idea though, keep those Air Filters nice, oiled and Red and you should be fine. There may be one event happening at a time, but the speed of the events increase and you end up needing a much larger volume to keep up with the vacuum generated. (IMHO)
