Holy S*** after weeks of beating my head against the wall trying to figure out why my bike was bogging hard, this thread just answered it all. I checked/tried literally everything trying to get this thing running properly, and turbulent air was the problem all along with the k&n pod filters. I tried putting the factory air box boots on, and voila. Bike runs perfect. So, that being said...... Here are the mods I made to my k&n pods. First off, I wanted to shorten them up for two reasons. 1- Clearance issues to my "fake oil tank" made them really hard to get on and off without scratching the paint, and 2- wanted to cut back some air flow to mimic factory air box. After cutting the pods open, I ground out the rest of the cloth/mesh filter from the chrome filter caps. I had some velocity stacks kicking around I shortened, and just happen to fit like a glove into the rubber boot of the pod filter. I RTV'ed them in, then ran a thick bead of RTV on the chrome end caps and glued them back on the ends of the filters. I already had tried the equalizer line between the two filters because supposedly, these bikes like a common air source, so I left that alone. So basically, I have pods with velocity stacks inside, and an equalizer line. Took the bike for a ride today, and its running perfect. Thoughts?
