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
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%]

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

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.
