The airbox has always taunted me and screamed "throw me away"...so I did!! And let me tell you I LOVE IT!!!  

It all started with me rebuilding the carbs, I used the Randakk rebuild kit and it worked like a charm, everything in the kit fit perfectly. I highly recommend them to anyone!

I had read on the deuces wild site that 75/110s were the "magic" jets for running pods, so since I had the carbs apart I went ahead and ordered new ones and threw them in, along with the recommended 3 1/2 turns out on the pilot screws.

After getting the carbs squared away and hooked back up on the bike, I ordered a set of the K&N pods for my year model. Deuces wild also suggested taping each pod up 75% to create vacuum in place of the airbox. I wrapped them with black electrical tape until only 1/2" of the filter material was showing.

My next upgrade, not sure if it had anything to do with the pods but it definitely helped the bike, I installed CBR F2 coils and wires. And boy what a difference it made for the bike! The bike fires right up and has tons of power. They are fairly cheap on ebay and I would suggest the upgrade to anyone with a DOHC bike.

I took it out for a test ride today and it ran like a scolded dog!!!!!!!!  Plenty of power and no noticeable flat spots...pure awesomeness!

Here are some pictures of the set up and the taped pods to help anyone out if they are thinking about doing this, I also made a custom battery box and mounted all electronic components under the tank to clean up the triangle a bit. I think it looks a lot better! If you have any questions just let know and Ill see if I cant point you in the right direction. Later guys!
