Nothing but good things to say about BrokenFixed's kits! Good stuff, highly recommended, and really alters the look of the bike (for the better!)

So brokenfixed, what did you do to put in the k&n pods? Do you see any performance benefit? I.E. i thought you needed the freak kit for the pods and i dont want the stock look. So if there is an easy/cheap way to just get rid of the airbox and put in pods ide be happy.
Also, don't worry, the battery relocation kit is on my to-do list.

Brokenfixed, do you have any pics how the fuse box and solenoid is mounted and how you arranged the wires after putting on this kit?

The process is pretty straight forward and isnt too complicated. Ive had quite a few customers over this past year that had the same questions as you. I would say that organizing the wiring harness to fit under the seat is the trickier part.
Ive been trying to make a complete kit so guys have everything right in front of them but I'd have to go on the books to get wholesale prices from k&n. So you'll need to get the pods separate as well as a couple other parts.
I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts. They had to order them from their warehouse it took a day or so. They match internet prices so I brought a printout with a lower price.
Theres 2 model numbers. Left and Right
RC-2900 (right)
RC-2890 (left)
Anyway, you need a "carb brace" and a "crankcase breather filter" along with the k&n pods and my bracket for the complete setup.
The carb brace is to support the carbs after you remove the airbox. Newspeedmaster.com sells a shiny piece of steel for $40 to do this job. Or you can use a small 3/8" turnbuckle from home depot and a 1/4" bolt. It basically spans between the upper engine mount with a bolt through an existing hole, and reaches down between the carbs to hook on under the bar between the 2 carbs. Read this

The crankcase breather filter, is a tiny filter that mounts to the tube coming out of the crankcase that used to hook into the bottom of the airbox. You'll see it on the top of the engine casing running up underneath the airbox. You can get that filter from newspeedmaster.com. Right here

Feel free to ask me any other questions, its not a problem at all, at first its hard to comprehend, but once you get the bike opened up and learn the components, everything finds its way together.
Of course adding more air means adding more fuel and exhaust so you'll need to rejet and look into opening up those stock pipes or getting some new ones. Heres a site to learn how to rejet.

Heres the under the seat view. You'll see that the fuse box isnt rigidly mounted. Its held in place by its own wiring. And on top of the battery clamped to the battery strap is the solenoid.

no problem at all...just send me a PM when youre ready to buy a bracket. And if you think you can make one yourself, go for it and I'll give you a hand with any questions.

Thanks for the reply!
Looks like a squeeze there. Mine is an EFI, and has a couple of sensors more to squeeze in and the wiring order is slightly different. But I think I should be able to work around it.

yeah Ive never sold one to an EFI customer before so you'd be the first that I know of with that setup. Could be a couple of things to work out differently. Keep me posted.

So if i just got with removing the airbox and replacing them with the pods does anyone know which jets i should use when i redo the carbs? I have an '04 speedy with long TORs and AI removed (if that makes a difference). I also live at well below 1,000 ft.

you can get it pretty close with this jetting calculator from Dinqua's website.
