Ugggh…..I always hate to see the “upgraded” pod filters. At least the seller was smart enough to keep the stock airbox. Nice GSXR for sure.
Agree. Really stupid move to remove the stock airbox assembly before flipping the bike. It’s real tight fit and a pain to replace it, which is why he took the easy way out and stuck pods on. I wonder if those minor gas tank dents that aren’t shown are from handlebar contact from a crash. Are the steering stops damaged or not? What does the bike look like underneath the fairings?
I always heard getting the jetting properly sorted with pod filters was a nightmare, so I’d be curious how it runs too.
Is it true that you can’t remove/replace the air box without moving the engine foward?someone once told me guys would just cut them out when doing pods and jet kit.maybe when he rebuilt the carbs that’s what he choose,a bad idea in my opinion.
Hello air pods, goodbye lower mid-range power. The air boxes of these (and later) years provided better air flow in the lower mid-range rpm regions.
