Update on K&N Pods...

[Johnny K]

I had the K&N air box and yesterday put on the K&N pods and was completely amazed on how it sounds. It's like it was saying to me "thank you for letting me breath":-D Lol. Seriously, I can let out the clutch now and it doesn't sound like its going to bog down. What a huge difference and am soo happy. Honestly, well worth the $180.00 from Dennis Kirk. Thanks again guys for the input. Appreciate it.

ehhhhhhhhhhhhh Johnny K, when you let the clutch out you say, how about when you're on a second gear roll?

How's your overall driveability?

Yep, pods sure do sound nice. My thought has always been that it's hard to make an intake sound bad, and pods certainly don't. It's hard to make an exhaust sound good though, so I do a bit more research there...

Don't know the history of your bike but did you rejet the carbs? Pods lean the mixture which is dangerous for your engine without a rejet. Tends to make the bike run poorly also so maybe you already did it.

Nessism, My carbs have been jetted from the dyna-jet kit that was installed last year. It was just a wake up call for my bike and now I can have even more fun breaking in the engine rolling the throttle up and down every half a mile or so. In about 350 miles, I am going to go back to my mechanic and change the oil, re-torque the engine bolts, and synch the carbs. I know she doesn't run perfect due to not synching, but nevertheless it's a nice "hum" when I go for a ride.
