    You should have gotten a shafty.
    Perish the thought.
    APE also sells pods, they seem to be very similar to the K&Ns for a bit less $$. Never tried them myself, so this is at best second hand info.

      I didnt think you were, dont worry.
      I used the stage 3 kit and just followed the instructions that came with it. So far so good.
      At the moment i have the horrible cheap pods that everyone hates, but i will be ordering K&N's in the next few weeks.
      I would suggest not using the drill bit that comes with the Dynajet kit as it broke off when i was drilling the first slide. Could be just bad luck on my part, but it seemed an average drill bit, use a good one.

        Oh yes I have K+N pods. I am looking forward to setting it all up.

        But after all this, I never did get an answer to my original question. Maybe nobody knows? Steve, maybe it would be difficult to work out how to modify pods to work with a stock carb set up. But it might not be if I can find someone who can measure the resistance of the airbox. My question was not really "how do I set up pods?" or "How stupid is it to want to use pods?" it was who can measure airflow.

        Maybe nobody knows, or maybe nobody actually read my question.

          I believe your ? was answered in the 4th post, as to who/ or how you might be able to check the air flow, also stated by Steve that it would be extremly hard to measure airflow as the motor only sucks 1/3 of the time on each cylinder and the amount of vacuum is constantly changing with throttle opening. Save your self some hassle and just buy a Dyno jet kit and pods , install as directed and enjoy your bike.

            Probably the only way to truly measure the flow is a flow meter (IDK the actual name) such as my head builder uses when he modifies heads. I don't know how it works, but it sounds like something that would do your task for you.
