[QUOTE=Sport Rider;296950 I'm going to try running pods, however, have been warned that pods on CV carbs don't do well. [/QUOTE]

They don't tend to do well with pod filters because it changes the pressure ratio between the inlet and "outlet" side of the carburetors, which affects throttle as well as fueling.

The short answer is, it can be done. The long answer is, you may spend a VERY long time getting it to run properly - aka have a good stable idle and proper fueling across all RPM ranges at all throttle positions.

It also really comes down to the carb manufacturer and design. Keihin CV carbs tend to have a lovely combination of both air jets and fuel jets. In the case of my GL1000, each carb had no less than 5 jets to consider - 2 air and 3 fuel. Even changing out to a high flow air filter threw them completely out of whack, and it was a bear to get them working properly again.

This is a really neat project no matter what direction you go. I will definitely be following.
