    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.

In your opinion- how bad may the trade of in price and quality be on these Pod Filters: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-48mm-SUZ...-T-E-GSX-AIR-FILTER-w-CLAMP-POD-/251334168077

I'm in the process of rebuilding my carbs and I still need to replace my airbox filter. I'm so tempted to just remove that airbox and filter to replace with these simple pod filters. Obviously I would re-jet the carbs.

If this is a fine thing to do, does anyone have a rule of thumb on the specifications for the rejet?

Thanks
 
Darn firewall!
I can't see but the best deal out there with quality is APE pods.
 
$30.00 for shipping.......seriously?? Lots of better prices on ebay, I'm sure.

You know that old saying, "you get what you pay for"? :-k

Well, you ain't paying much, so ... yeah, you ain't getting much, either.

If you absitively, posilutely HAVE to have pods, go for them, but they are pretty much bottom-of-the-barrel, as far as pods go.
Your bike will run better and you will have fewer headaches by sticking with the stock airbox.

I did not see that price mentioned in the link given, but it would not suprise me at all if that was the charge to toss a set over the border. :o
The auction that I saw when I clicked the link said "FREE economy shipping" (to the US). :p

Some of the cheap ones are not really filters, just screens. Sand and anything smaller will get through.

Others have bad shapes for airflow, create turbulence which makes tuning difficult.

K&N or APE are good, worth the money.
