Pods and 4 to 1 V&H exhaust

[hartleygs]

Why is putting on the pods and exhaust so looked down apon. All you have to do is rejet, correct? Could anyone recommend a jet size for my 81 GS 850 GL. Which jets do you change? The internal ones or the ones on the outer edge where the airbox mounts, or all of them? Just wondering why all the negative talk about these issues thats all. Thanks guys PS I would think this would be a better alternative than having airbox issues.

theeres a lot of guys around here that appreciate a stock bike.... mine has pods and 4-1, dynojet stage 3...

i love it, and i will keep doing it to bikes cause its fun to tune em and play around with them....

find someone with an 850 and they can be specific about what jets to go with ....

If you go with pods and a header do yourself a favor and buy the Dynojet jet kit. It comes with all kinds of different jets, new slide needles, ect. so you can install and go. Saves a ton of time trying to rejet on your own. And speaking of rejetting, many motorcycle shops don't carry the jets anymore anyway so you have to mail order which takes a bunch of time and guessing (expensive).

No One has Shown Me Yet that Any Benefits are worth the Aggravation. That Said, the 850s seem to be the Most Sensitive of the GS line when it comes to Air/Fuel issues. Mine is Bone stock and Will remain that way for the Forseeable Future.

The biggest benefit was I got the damn air box out of there. Yes it was aggravating trying to find a setup that worked, But that airbox was just a giant PITA.
