kennymc and friarjohn, appreciate the reply. I just was reading an article on dinqua www site on amal carbs and big bore kit. From what i can see, he has the pod filters exposed from the carbs. I'll check the bikes right side out and see where this is leadng. Again, thanks for the notes.
Geezer,
My pods are hidden behind the stock side covers and held on by a Freak kit from New Speedmaster / New Bonneville.com I now have the Mikuni 36mm flatslide carbs as well, I am still getting my slow butt around to rejetting them, maybe I should order the required jets/needles again...been a long time and no parts have arrived. Anyway, for the cheapest way I would suggest the simple method of drilling the bottom of your air filter, (stock or UNI, no difference, a UNI is just re-usable, no performance gains whatsoever, do not let anyone convince you of otherwise) and making a hole in the bottom of your airbox. Add a screen to keep out crap and you are good to go for zero $$. Can't beat that. And you can always just put in a new air filter to plug the hole and this reverses the mod, no harm no foul.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.
