Hey all. Just picked up a '79 xs650 special. Runs great, everything works. The bike is missing air filters...the boxes are there just no filters inside, don't ask me why. I'm wondering what I should use here. The bike runs great as is (strange I know). Everything is stock from what I can tell.
I want something that I can clean and maintain from year to year. Should I go with K&N filters that fit the box (like these) or should I just pull the boxes and go with pod filters (K&N, mikesxs, uni).
I'd prefer to not do any re-jetting until this winter, trying to keep things stock so I can enjoy the bike as much as possible this summer (least amount of tuning/work possible for the best output). At the same time I am thinking I'll want to do tuning and re-jetting this winter but I don't want to have to buy new filters again in 4 months. Suggestions?
