550e guys running pod filters
How'd you get them to clear the frame and sidecover on the outside carbs? I figure I can angle them around the frame, but I'm going to have to cut the sidecovers for a good fit.Tags: None

The PO of my 79 550L put them on. He just "twisted" or "swirled" the outside airfilters a bit to clear the side covers. They sit tight against the covers. Just grab both ends of the filter and twist it a little as if you were wringing them out. They shorten up quickly and I didn't notice any performance problems yet. I'll probably go back to the regular airfilter box this winter when I do a complete tune-up. Seems to run better in stock form.
