Well, I went and did some more changing to my speedy today. I went to the local shop and asked about some pod filters for her and they pulled out a pair of filters that were a bit shorter than the normal ones that they would use if the airbox was removed. they were going to have to order a pair if I wanted the correct ones to fit the carbs and I ended up with these slightly smaller ones for a song and a dance ( they didnt know how they got there and couldnt find a price, so there was no price )so have 180 turn arounds now on my bike. still fidgeting with the jetting. Have TBS needles on order, but currently have stock with 2 shims and 142.5 mains and will need to go to 145's. screws out 2.5 but may turn in a bit due to loading up a bit at idle now. Will post some pics of it and my white valve cover soon.
