As I rebuild my first XS650, I have been doing a ton of reading on what to do and what not to do thanks to all the contributing members on this forum. So first off, thank you all for sharing your expertise and experiences.
In terms of pod filters, I have gathered that the consensus is the UNI foam pods are going to be the best for performance on my BS34 carbs with open exhaust. To be completely honest, I am just not a huge fan of the look of the UNI pods.
That being said, I already have a set of UNI filters so I can properly tune once my bike is back together, but I am curious if anyone has tried these 2FastMoto 54mm foam pods on eBay?

I like the look of these filters because they have the tapered outer mesh screen, but the actual filter element is foam like the UNIs, so I am hoping it wont have the same negative air turbulence effect of the cheap K&N style filters that I have read about. Has anyone tried these on BS34s? If not, I already ordered a pair, so I will report back on any differences I see between the UNIs and these. I am currently rebuilding my engine though, so it may be a while before I get to the testing phase.
My plan is to get it tuned properly with the UNIs and then switch out the filters and see if there is any noticeable difference.
