Really can't see a lot of benefit... Considering changing jets costs a few quid, compared with however much for different carbs. The SV carbs are pretty decent as it is, and well matched to the manifolds too. Just sleeving down larger ones would have flow issues I think.

You could fit a set of flatsides :twisted:

My experience of using individual filters is pretty bad. The airbox has a job to do and I'm of the opinion that it's just not worth taking it off and the thing being a pig to ride unless it's a nice day. As for jet size, you'd need it set up on a dyno anyway, and I second what Windy said about air jets.

and also anyone know the diameter of the carbs?? although a rubber reducer could be used from the carb to the engine.

Fitting Crabs, would make you Shellfish!!

A decent filter and set up (Jets/Dyno) is all you need. Its throwing good money after nothing.
