So, if I install pods on my 400, but manufacture some sort of restriction INSIDE the pod itself, to limit the airflow into the carb, would this save the hassle of re-jetting? If I put a piece of drilled out sheet metal inside the pod, theoretically I can keep the amount of air the same as a stock airbox right? Has anyone tried this? It seems so obvious, I can't be the first to think of this. If not, I'll do it and let you guys know. While we're on the subject, anyone know the size of jet to try with a CB400F running pods? Running Kerker headers and pipe?

Why not run the pods inside an airbox?

Has anyone tried this yet?

Interesting solution.
Do that and run without the stock air filter.

Why bother? This won't create the same vacuum as box and filter. May as well just run with stock airbox and no filter. At least you'd keep the stacks built into the stock ariboxes.

I was actually being kind of a smartass suggesting to run the pods inside the airbox, knowing that this would defeat the purpose of those that want them for aesthetics and most likely defeat any practical performance purpose.

After I said it though, I did think back to the discussion going on the High Perf board about the new style stacks being located in an enclosed airbox and thought to myself, if just for a second, "wow, is it such a stoopid idea after all?" You say that it won't create the same vacuum as the stock box/filter, but could it be tuned to any advantage, like the stacks/box set-up? or is it just rampant silliness? I know the stacks discussed were in a larger airbox, so maybe....

Velocity stacks and pod filters work differently.

Exactly.

Well what about individual velocity stacks with pod filters attached, eh? Eh?

Gordon · « **Reply #458 on:** October 04, 2009, 10:24:21 PM »

Okay, stick with me 'cause I'm going out on a limb here, but what about individual velocity stacks completely surrounded by a common, large enclosure, that are all drawing air through one, large filter element? It's the best of all worlds!

I may be on to something here!

It's been tried, unfortunately only works in theory

Ass stats are where it's at

That sounds brilliant Gordy, but where could I get one? And how much would that engineering marvel cost?

Do you remember my velocipod design?

alright, alright. apparently it was, in fact, a stoopid idea on my part.

I do kinda like the velocipod design, tho...only one question: what jet size would you use?

I think you have to have an "exotic animal" license here in the states to have one. Not sure how that works down under, though, Terry.

Ever seen a Kangaroo Mark? Or a Wombat? Or a Platypus? We've got "exotic", up the kazoo! Now where's my Velocipod?!

Kind of an old thread, but I recently added pod filters to my 78 750K, Before it would have a little high speed hesitation at 60mph or so once warmed up. With the pod filters on it runs great. I didn't change anything else and the bike is smooth as glass throughout the rpm range. Cruising at 55-60 it does just fine. Up to 100mph and no problems. The pods of carbs 2 and 3 are still a bit weird, because of the choke assembly. Runs great though. I bought the bike used and have no clue the size jets or anything in the carbs.
