I wrote that. It's for Mikuni carbs but many of the elements are the same for the Keihin 750 carbs

Does anyone know the size of the inlet on the carb? im looking to change over to pods but I dont know the size to get.

If bike is a kz750/4 with Keihin carbs then you want pods described as 50mm pods

When I checked for my 82 750 LTD on the z1enterprises website, they said 54mm....

Nessism, please check you inbox. I could use the documented oring file.

I measured the opening on my old K&Ns and got 50mm which corresponds with pods on APEs site. Aperaceparts.com
Click Kawasaki kz/gpz and scroll down to "carbs"

Would any of you believe 55.7mm? Just measured using calipers.

Sure. I believe you Ed.
I'm sure 50, 54 or even 55.7mm:laugh: will work. Just tighten down the hose clip.
I measured the opening/ID on 3 of mine at 49.99 - 52mm and the 4th at 53.19 so there is obviously some variation and distortion from use.
I guess I went with the designation of 50mm based on APE offering.
