    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.

82 gs850g what size pods for them? and wheres the least expensive?
 
same bike here too. I got mine from Z1 enterprises, but I haven't been able to find you a link to them. :confused:
 
those are the oval ones though if you want the round ones you need RC2344 run about $135
 
I would be interested in hearing how easy it was to get those 850's running right with the pods. They run pretty poorly with even a brittle air box gasket.
 
I plan on getting them when I get an exhaust and a jet kit... From what I hear, that combo works well.
 
i found the ones on z1enterprises for 8 dollars a piece not bad but i dunno the reliability of them but they are from emgo any feedback on that brand?
 
The Emgos block next to nothing. You might as well go with open intake with them. I have them, and using them has been a PITA to get the jetting right. Whats more, if it rains, and your bike is in it, or you get caught in it, you WILL get water in thru the intake. I havent stepped up to the plate and ordered them yet, but I think I will be using the APE K&N knockoffs. From what I have heard, they actually take more of a beating than the K&Ns and filter just the same.
 
Dpep, I had pods on my 1980 850, stock exhaust, and it ran just fine! Maybe the prior owner re-jetted it?

Yeah, I washed mine to remove the varnish on the outside from the PO's leaky petcock and I found I could see daylight through them, not like translucent like a paper towel, but transparent, like looking through a screen. That, and your story of the stuck slide due to water does not give me a good feeling with these pods.

So... the may be a dumb question, but what is the difference in effect between the round and oval? Is it just aesthetics? I can imagine the flow would be better on the ovals, as the opening (filter) between the chrome cap and the flange opening is larger, but this doesn't seem like it'd be a restriction in either case...:-k
 
not sure on the real difference but every site i have seen only lists the round tapered ones when you look up our bikes. either them or the 2 carb versions (one filter on 2 carbs)

Those Emgo pods are not washable; use and throw away when dirty.

So, unless the website is using a generic image, for my 78 750,
the k&n website (knfilters.com) shows oval pods for my bike, part
number RC-2454, same as Z1.

Prices aren't anything to get excited about however...
 
that would be my best guess though i know the openings are bigger on my filters then the ones you listed
