individual air filters

Great advice

Thanks for all this information. I will be sticking to the stock air box with new weather stripping and painting it with bedliner to seal all the leaks and give it a nice flat black look(not a chrome fan).

The airbox provides a large reservoir of stable air for the engine to draw from ...

So THAT is where the horsepower comes from.

Not at all. When the bike passes a ranch, all the horsepoop is vacuumed into the airbox, and allocated as required.
While I agree with most of the statements in that post, I am convinced (and have proven to myself) that pods have their place. The main downside I see to pods is the noise, if you have the capability to tune either. Yeah, tuning sucks, but it is not a daily exercise. Even if you use the plug chop method it can still be done.

CV carbs are easier to jet than slide carbs IMO.

For my GS850 with pods I ended up with needles one or two clip positions higher than stock (Australian delivered model), screws 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 out from lightly seated and mainjets around 18% over the stock Mikuni items. (Eg 100 mainjet becomes a 118)

That thing rode very well and I regret selling it.
