Hi guys. Fj1200 86. I have mesh pods installed, stock filter is long gone. I personally would not do that, just picked up half finished project.... So the question is simple.....how can i restrict air flow of the pods in easy way without fiddling with carbs?
Performance is not the goal. Thanks a lot.
Buy a couple pairs of dress socks and stretch them over the filters. Cut off the excess and secure with zip ties.
Sounds better than the duct tape I was going to suggest

Any particular material, style? Do you mean couple over each pod? Thanks a lot
Definitely argyle...
Aluminum foil, a few layers should do the trick...

You're kidding, right?
Just how much "restriction" do you think you need? That's a hell of a lot harder question than simply adding a shim (or 2) under the slide needle. Which happens to be a well documented "adjustment" for low restriction air filters.
You don't even need to remove the carbs to do this. See if Randy offers needle shims.
