Could not agree more .
Also Pod filters and carbs must be tuned as a pair . Maintaining both are required for proper running . Pods require much more maintenance than stock filters also, let's not forget . Personally I love pod filters and alway buy 2 , one is lays cleaned and oiled to make maintenance faster and this assures proper oil saturation as it sits in ziplock bag. This is not for all riders as the carb will also need to be properly tuned to accept free flow air coming in much efficient .

The lip isn't as thick as the stock filter so I used some plastic weather stripping on the bottom of the hold down bracket. I have pictures if you want to see them.

Thanks. I actually just got off the phone with K&n and they told me if I give the the dimensions of our stock filter, they will be able to tell me a part # for one of their own in that size! Pretty cool, and glad I called to ask! I'll be getting the dimensions tomorrow and giving them a call back. If for some reason they don't have one in our size, I'm going to do what you did I think.
