I hate to add insult to injury, but if those are Constant Velocity (CV) carbs, the pod filters will never work...  The CV's depend upon the OEM air box to generate the correct vacuum for the four carbs to work.  It's a dead horse, trying to make pods work on the CV's.  Save your cash, and buy an OEM air box off of e-Bay, return the jets to factory standard, and re-tune/synchronize them.

The best option for increasing air flow, is to either install an oiled, UNI foam filter element, or install a K&N air filter (spendy, but the last air filter the bike will ever need) -- performance improvement has only been tested on the Butt-Dyno, so no science to prove the investment is worthwhile (of course, I've never seen anything but the Butt-Dyno reference for the pods, either).  Cheers!
