K&N Air Pods

[Guest]

I'm considering getting the K&N air pod filters, I already have a Vance&Hines 4-1 pipe on my 82 GS1100e. Runs strong below 6k rpms, starts to bog with hard acceleration. I've had the bike in the shop to adjust the carbs recently, as the bike bogged around 4k rpms before. The bike will soon be returning to the shop for another carb adjustment/tune. Long story short, does anyone have these filters on their bike along with aftermarket pipes? I'm getting the stage 3 dynojet kit along with the filters if I do go that route. Is there a good power gain with these upgrades? I'm new to this site as of today, not entirely sure how to get around yet. Any info helps, thanks.

From one noobie to another, welcome to the board!

The general consensus is that pods/pipes are going to require considerably bigger jets, and there's no set recommendations for it. Did you read the stickies at the top of the board? Guys have posted invaluable info there.

In theory, you're going to increase airflow a lot. Once you match gas flow to the airflow, you'll have one screamin little scooter.

Buy a Dynojet 3133 kit
Send the carbs and kit to me and I'll set them up right.

I have a K&N drop in air filter, i cleaned it and removed the top cover to the air box, and the bike pulls all the way through from 2k to 12k. Can the air box cover actually restrict that much air flow?
