I just Googled bike model and year. If memory serves me, and it rarely does any more, there was the oem around $110 and a similar aftermarket K&N for about the same price. Scrolling down a little bit further I found a Hi Flo at around $15.00. Looks good to me. Just checked. On ebay they are sellin

+1 on all above. What it comes down to is, if you want to ride a mile, then fiddle awhile, go pods. Otherwise forget it. Honda multi-carb gurus got it right with the constant velocity airbox concept. Too many side-of-the-road-screwdriver-prone variables otherwise. On Tuesday, December 1

I will be the first to chime in. Don't do it. These bikes are designed to have a steady, even, and slight back pressure that the air box provides. Pods will require rejecting in almost all occasions. If you want to do it, be prepared for a LOT of trial and error work to tune it. -- You rece

That's good advice. We don't generally give the airbox much attention, but it's sometimes critical to performance. I had a niggling air leak for awhile, until I changed filters, and in the process cleaned out the inside of the airbox. Found that one of my rubber intake manifolds was so deformed

The "shite" in the carbs will not have arrived there via the air cleaner, but via "varnished" gas. When a bike sits up a lot (yours is 15 years old, with only 12,000 miles on it -- indicating it hasn't been ridden a whole lot), the volatile organic compounds in the gas evaporate, leaving behind a

+1 on carb cleaning, tweaking and synchronization. You'll need a service manual for the how-to. And general consensus is K&N flows too much air for this bike. Better (and cheaper -- $25-30) choice is the UNI, which is similar in that it's cleanable/reusable. -- You received this message becaus

I would add to take care when removing the plastic left side cover. The cover is flimsy, can be brittle, and can break easily if you use too muscle. They're also expensive to replace. It's held in place by two plastic pins molded into the back side of the cover. The pins push into rubber gromme
