Hi, all. I have a 1981 CB750C that I am just making run again after 5 years in pieces. I have read the arguments for and against using Pods instead of the stock Airbox. I hate my airbox. I don't like the way it looks. I don't like having to screw with it to get my carbs in and out (which seems to be alot, lately). But the benefit to perfomance is definitely a plus in its favor. My question is this: if I made one big air filter pod that mounted to all four intakes like the airbox does, would there be sufficient constant vacuum across the carbs to maintain the performance? Does the size and shape of the airbox have anything to do with perfomance? I have looked but not seen anything like this air cleaner pod anywhere. Any thoughts or advice before I start using up favors would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Barnacle
