Where can I buy a replacement '81 GS450L Foam Air Filter element?

No joy there for the 450.

Can I switch to the Pod Filters and loose that "air box" completely?

35mm ones?
 
Depends, if you have the orginal Exhaust or 4 in 1. Either way you are looking at having to rejet b/c the pods will result in it running lean. What you would rejet it to would be up to someone else on here b/c I'm not as familar with the sizing for your size engine.
 
maybe you can ask me to buy 1 for you.

USD 2.00 ~ shipping would be ~3 to US :)

I just change the airfilter for my bike GS450L 2 week ago.

GS450L is a twin.

It's already running too lean and I suspect air chamber/filter leakage.

I've rebuilt the carbs and I'd just as soon switch to pods if it's within tolerance range of air/fuel adjustments.

Cycle/recycle states in their parts listings "Twins and 550 and smaller Honda fours usually do not need jetting".

Help! Experts?
 
Your local Suzuki dealer has them. I think I only paid $10 for mine last year. Many of the dealer websites have a Parts Fische section to let you find all the little things you need. My dealer actually has a pretty good turn around time on orders too.

I'm in the mountains of North Carolina. My "local" Suzuki dealer is in a hardware store in Mountain City Tennessee. I'm lucky to get the right oil there.

bgmart, gspaul, anyone? where are you? [-o<
 
Still running stock airbox. I think others with 450's have done pods and it required jetting. I wanted to do it but haven't decided to take the plunge. I kinda like riding rather than jetting headaches.

Bike Bandit has stock elements: part no.483748-001 $8.93.
Alpha Sports has them: part no. 13781-44100 $10.70.
Dennis Kirk has K&N Oval pods for $84.something

I am sure with all companies you'd have to see if they are in stock...
