    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...

    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.

Frustrating story my pod filters started on fire while riding,burnt some wiring and left goey
foam all over engine. i think the cause was a back fire throught the carbs; because i had a plug wire switched? anyway i looked on sudco but they all list the famous rs flatside 55mm iner diameter stacks. but on my 83 gs750e i have the BS mikunis so were do i find the stacks to fit these carbs.
 
Im trying to figure the samething out! I had the old stocker air intake on my gs550 and one day it just fell apart and the carbs sucked it up and i had to clean out the carbs! So im trying to switch to the little cone pod filter types but every dimesion i had recieved for them shows that they would hit the frame on the outside carbs! Any ideas? U can find those things on ebay they fairly cheap! Shown with dimensions and all!
 
Really, 52mm or 53mm are the smae thing. The conversion makes the 52mm 2.05" and 53mm 2.09". That difference can be made up within the rubber boot. It will stretch or compress enough to make up that small difference. I got a set of K&N pods for my bike to replace the one I lost on the road off ebay for about $50 or so. I did buy the kit for a twin because I really only needed 1 so it was cheaper than buying the whole kit.
