The stock plenum (airbox) setup for 4-carbs is more efficient and less maintenance intensive because it's designed to collect and supply steady volume and air flow to each carb regardless of the carb's mounted position on the engine. Pods, because each is located in a different position relative to the airstream when the bike is in motion, are unable to match the same performance. They also make for fiddly carb synchronization, so are a major pain in the butt to keep adjusted. Unless you are going all out with a radical reject of the carbs, K&N seems to flow too much air to the Nighthawks. A reasonable alternative is a UNI filter (permanent, cleanable, more compatible and cheaper then K&N). n Friday, July 26, 2013 2:35:55 AM UTC-4, Dalton Peel wrote:
