Ok so you have the battery housing if you go down the pod filter route, its just a matter of going up slightly on the main jet, possibly a 135 or 140, buy both they are not expensive and start with the biggest first.

or bide your time and search for an airbox, beware though that you get one for a square sect swing arm as they differ from the earlier round sect swing arm models. they do come up on ebay now and again, although not often.

Carb has a 130 jet as standard, has yours got a 160 in?, sounds big...be interesting to hear how it runs with that. so you had no oil tank...dont forget to bleed and prime the pump when the time comes. ;)
