Lost the PODS battle

endwrench
So, I bought an '81 CB750F that already had pods and a 4-1 on it but I'm pretty much done trying to get the jetting right. From everything I've read, it's not really possible to get more performance out of them than over the stock airbox anyway with the CV carbs. Does anyone know a good place to find a stock airbox for an '81 F model / will the airbox setup from other years fit an 81 750F? I found a few boxes on fleabay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1982-Honda-CB750F-CB-750-AIR-BOX-HOUSING-/330482118391?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4cf244eef7&vxp=mtr#ht_1312wt_1114 

but If I bought that I would need to buy a side cover and the rubber boots and an airfilter and everything, blah.

Thanks.

I tried the recommended jetting for pods and 4-1's ( 75 mains, 110 secondaries, fuel screws 3.5 turns out, pods taped up to restrict airflow) but the engine still craps out at about 7k.

I have 2 of them in good condition. They are the type with the chrome side pieces.
Let me know if you're interested.

Hey thanks!

Do you have the boots that go from the carbs to the boxes, too? I'm super interested. How much would you want for them?

I have one also. Brand new filter goes with it. The boots are also there. I think a clamp or two is missing. Black in color. $30.00 and shipping.

What pods do you have and what condition are they in?  I am interested in giving it a go.  I like the look and have good amount of experience with these carbs and a performance jet kit already with lots of different options.
