Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone has ever gone to individual carb foam filters for their beast.
Thanks for any info.

A couple have tried it years ago, it didn't work well..

IMHO most mutiple carbonated Hondas do not do not do well unless the OEM air filter system is used. PODs or other individual filtration systems may look good but the bikes run poorly through some part, if not all, the performance band. For what it's worth.   :roll:

I believe this was addressed YEARS ago and whoever was trying, couldn't get the correct pressure that the OEM air box provides.

A least, that was my take on the experiment.

most motorcycles including the valkyrie use what is know as an Individual Runner (IR) carb/manifold system. properly jetted individual POD filters will work. Pros more HP on top end. Cons, more intake roar/noise.

More roar is never a con. :)
