So I've got these 2 K&N cylindrical filters that work on my SV650 meaning the I.D is fuckin huge. I need pods for my GSX1100G but I need 4 of them and the O.D. of the carbs are much smaller. I was wondering what logistics I would need to deal with and if it would even be worth it, to make boots that would essentially hook up one of these filters for every 2 carbs. With me so far?

I'm thinking on making them from PVC or something. The proper K&N filters for my bike are expensive as FUCK and the cheap Emgo ones I heard are junk so I wanna try my hand at making these fit. Basically I'm looking for advice on this, spare boots to hack up, etc. I'm gonna draw up a crude blueprint and post it up later. Any and all real help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Do they need to be in great shape? I'm kind of anal about things. I have a set of k/n pods for this motor that are a prob a 7/10 cosmetic wise. I was going to grab a new set anyway. Where were you finding these "expensive" ones

Everywhere. Theyre over $100 for the pair and that's nuts. You said you have a pair that would work for my 1100 oil boiler? Cosmetics mean nothing to me over function.

Would these first gen bandit pod filters work on my carbs?

I was told to get dual filters though and not individuals.

Now I just gotta figure out what other jet kits will work for my 11G and I'll have the mechanical shit done with.

I think K&N filters are well worth the money. If you service your air filters often they will pay for themselves pretty quick.

I agree but I'm resotring this bike to sell at this point. Dine said once HE gets His GSX-R1100 back from the shop He'll give me the ones He's got on His now since He's getting new ones and these are a bit beat up. Don't bother me none! So it looks as though this plan is scrapped. I was only gonna do this out of necessity. So rep Dine for the hookup next time ya see Him! Thanks for the help guys.
