CB 750 air filters - options?

(1/1)

Expatriot:
hello, I am trying to find another option to adding different  air filters (and box) to my bike.  Last summer, I experimented with K & N filters, and the bike ran brutally!!!!!  My 750 has been modified (sorry purest) with a custom air box, and I feel I'm not getting enough air in, as I'm peaking speed at about 110 km.  Not that I want to fly, she just dies going up hills , or into a heavy wind.  I ran her up the hiway with just the velocity stacks, and she ran pretty well, but sucked with the K & N's.  I'm sure that re-jetting is the answer if I'm going to use pod filters.  If so how do you know what jets to put in ( i'm assuming it is not a simple job - carburator is french for don't frig with it!!)  any thoughts, thnx
