    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.

Cheap Source for K&N Pods???

All this recent talk of pods has me thinking of getting a set. I've searched the archives and seen posts that mention them being bought for $100-120 but the cheapest I can find is around $140 (MAW; slightly less than reputable). Anyone have any ideas on cheap sources for these filters??

Otherwise I'll probably go with APE's pods.

Thanks.
 
K&N's are expensive. And for a reason. Even used ones hold their value because they basically last forever. And they breath more consistantly between filters than other lower cost brands. It makes setup easier. Plus they breathe better (more flow).

This is all infomation I have been told by engine builders. The only experience I have myself with Pods is K&N's. I have never used anything else.
 
Yeah! Get pods and be miserable like the rest of us! Nothing like questioning if your bike is jetted correctly FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE!!!

Just kidding, I'd go with pods, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages. They aren't cheap anywhere unless you go with EMGO or UNI foam filters. Dennis Kirk can sell you a set of those for less than $40. I'd pay the money for the K&N, cripes, I've seen 'em sell on EBay used for about $60 a set!
 
Thanks for the replies. The cheapest I've seen the K&N's for was $110 at Freddie Spencer's Racing School (http://www.fastfreddie.com/prodline/html/kits.htm) but the page is old and they don't sell them any longer. $160-180 seems to be the most common price for a set.

I'm tempted to go with the filters sold by APE and Star Racing. If they're 2/3 as good and 1/3 as expensive then they might be worth giving a shot.

You might give Rob Eberle a call at cyclerecycle in Indy

His phone is 317 634 7550. I dont think he has them in stock (could be wrong) but I know he can get them for you and I am certain his price will be as fair as he can make it. Super nice guy BTW. He's helped me out on various occasions. :-)

Yes, Rob is good, we talked about 20 minutes yesterday. :)

I bought my EMGO pod filters through CRC2 two years ago...$9 a piece, they're great.
