Can anyone with expertise on replacing air filters on cb350 tell me whether rejetting is going to be necessary? I was leaning towards K&Ns, but they may be a little out of price range. I also wanted pods, but they have to work with the original side covers. Thoughts? ???
CB350 Air Filter Replacement and Rejet!

if your removing the air box entirely and just going to use two individual filters, you will need to rejet. if you just throw a K&N into the stock airbox, you should be fine.
You should be able to fit pods and hide them behind the side covers no doubt.

i'm interested in this topic as well as i'm going to go with pod filters for the appearance.
every 'big arse project' seems to have these filters, and while i appreciate that rejetting for modified motors is a bit of a black art, i'll wager that there are a ton of us poser-builders that don't do anything to the motor other than put pods on. you'd think one of the gurus out there could give us a leg up and say 'with stock pipes and no motorwork you'll need to go up to a #XXX jet'!
*rant over*
also, don't confuse the decorative body coloured painted side covers with the 'airbox' which is the black thing that has the air filter element inside it...

Are you referring to a 350 four or Twin? I don't believe that K&N makes a replacement air filter for the twin. I had to order one from the dealership. It was $43.
They look like this:
Anyways, whatever bike you're referring to, if you do decide to go with pods, rejetting is not black and white. I had to rejet a 76 CB750 for pods and i ended up buying 3 different sets. Luckily the dealership here in Cleveland had them in stock (amazingly). Pods do look sweet, but it takes a bit of time and effort to get them running right afterwards.

Find the millimeter of the outside diameter and get another type filter as I have! By the way any change will possibly cause a leaner condition and a possible change in jetting, but maybe only a small adjustment in the fuel screw if at stock setting. I payed only $15.00 per pod.
