Has anyone done away with the airbox and just fit filters straight onto the carbs?
If so what size of clamp on filter did you need?
-
I'm guessing that would effectively weaken the mixture (certainly not something you want), so you'd be wise to adjust it accordingly as part of a Dyno-Run.

there a few kits about,
http://ivansperformanceproducts.com/FZ1kit.htm (http://ivansperformanceproducts.com/FZ1kit.htm) scroll down the page a bit to see pictures.
But read all the pages for the FZ1 (The American name for the FZS1000 or 2001-2005 bike), the pod filters offer no power gains over a correctly modified air-box and performance filter.
Or another tuning place: [size=78%]http://www.holeshot.com/fz1/fz1_stage2.shtml (http://www.holeshot.com/fz1/fz1_stage2.shtml)[/size]
If you like the look and the extra noise go for it.

modern cv carbs dont like pod filters,they can be a nightmare to set up properly,the carbs work better with a airbox

+1 Solorider, that's what I've heard too?
-
I've ran them with ivans kit did it for looks really didn't notice any difference between full monty with and without:)

It,s probably the trumpet lengths that are the important factor.
-
It's certainly the case that without fitting correct length velocity stacks inside the pods, you will suffer low-midrange power loss over a modded airbox and K&N type filter.
