Not sure what you're asking. I've got the K&N pods on mine. 2 filters, each filter covers two carbs.

Fits just fine.

Don't use them without a jet kit!

Here's a pic with them installed:

Can't really tell, can you?  :lol:

Here's a picture from Blade's site that shows the K&N pods installed when the bike is "undressed" - which is the only time you can really see them since they hide so perfectly behing the 2G's side covers.

This is mine with the K&N's fitted.
I got them from the UK via banditmania.co.uk but I dare say that they wil be easily available in the US.

I am interested to know how the K&N Pods perform compared with a stock airbox with a hole in the cover per Holeshot Stage 1 instructions.

What I am interested in finding out is:

Do they run leaner or richer at idle, at midrange, on top at open throttle than a modified airbox?

My hunch is that they might flow more air at some RPM/throttle openings and less at other RPM/throttle openings.

Any direct experience would be appreciated as I am attempting to predict what effect a switch to pods might have on my jetting requirements.

Regards,

Dave

As Red mentioned... pods should NOT be used with anything less than a Stage 2 jet kit... that is unless you want your already lean Bandit to run like crap.   :stickpoke: :grin:
