Hi, then I came a little further, I got the engine in the frame, I knew well that there would be problems with my 38mm carburettors, but thought that they were only gasoline tap that would not be room for, but then to my horror that the tank comes across the cylinder head , is there anyone that can tell how they have solved the problem that has made the same conversion from the GSX 750 esd? Do not want to cut the tank, but it may be necessary 

a gs tank will clear the head/carbs but it might not suit your tail piece?

Cheers mate just thought I’d share some info as there was not much positives regarding pod filters on cv carbs

[Pod filters]

How do, first time on 

like a dick I put trumpets on my gsx 750es without jetting it properly. I put 135 main jets in but didn’t lift the needles, chaos ensued and now I’ve got a shit engine with no compression (100% my fault)

i thought bollox to it and invested in a 02 gsxf 750 motor and banged it in the es frame slight jiggerypokery and got it sat right and got everything lined up.

however there was no way the air box was going in, there’s a million and one keyboard commandoes that insist cv carbs won’t work with pod filters but I didn’t have much choice. Instead of the cheap Chinese wank filters I went for the 58mm ramair foam type they were about 18 quid each.

i lifted the needles by 2 notches and swapped the 135 mainjets from the es carbs (which were bigger due to the trumpets I put on 112 standard I think)

well fuck me! The fucker goes like shit off a shovel, pulls hard as fuck right through the Rev range.

so if you’re considering running pods on a gsxf 750 I can 100% recommend 135 main jets and lift the needles by 2 notches, with the ramair filters as a base point , I might lower the needle by a notch see what difference it makes, in the es frame you can do the needles in situ without removing the carbs.
