ok,the triple trees will stay the way they are. this is an 83 kz750 ltd
with shaft drive. i need to know exactly what to change in carb to
accomodate pod filters rather than the old air box. i've heard it needs
rejetting. parts are high enough, so i can't pay a mechanic. anyone have
advice?

I have described this re-jetting business about a bazillion times here
in this NG.

Spend some time googling for "main jet" and "transition ports" and "EPA
anti-tamper plugs" and reading about the numbering system of Mikuni and
Keihin round main jets and idle jets and you will probably figure out
that you don't need a main jet that is larger than about a #115 to #
120 or an idle jet that is much bigger than a # 37.5 or
# 40.

Jets cause about $6 to $7 each, so blindly experimenting with jets can
get expensive very quickly.

How about leaving the airbox in place instead? You'll save a lot of
money and frustration.
